Paterson, New Jersey's Hinchliffe Stadium — one of the few remaining stadiums that once hosted Negro Leagues games — has a second swing at life. The art deco ballpark, located alongside Paterson's Great Falls, is open for the first time in a quarter-century, after a $100 million revival saved it from condemnation. Hinchliffe, built in 1932, was home to the New York Black Yankees and New York Cubans in the 1930s and 1940s, according to MLB.com . In 1933, the Black Yankees faced the Philadelphia Stars there for the Negro World Series.
