The Trenton Tigers were a minor league baseball team based in Trenton, New Jersey. They played in the Class-B Tri-State League from 1907 to 1914, and briefly in the 1908 Pennsylvania-New Jersey League.[1] They represented the city of Trenton, New Jersey.
The Tigers entered Organized Baseball as a charter member of the Tri-State League in 1907, finishing fourth in their debut season with a 70–54 record.[1] They remained in the league through 1914, posting a 431–478 overall mark.[2][3] In 1908, the team also competed in the short-lived Pennsylvania-New Jersey League, ending with a 54–73 record in the Tri-State portion of their split season.[1]
The 1911 season was the team's most successful, with a 65–46 regular-season record (second place) and a playoff championship victory over Williamsport.[1][4] The franchise folded after the 1914 season, when the Tri-State League reorganized.[citation needed] Home games were played at an unnamed ballpark in Trenton, though specific details are scarce.[citation needed]
