Hinchliffe Stadium is a 10,000 seat oval that was home to the New York Black Yankees for 12 seasons of their existance, as well as the New York Cubans for one season (1936). Both teams were members of the Negro National League. Right Center Field was 460 feet away from homeplate. The stadium is one of only three Negro League Stadiums that still stands today (2009). The "Friends of Hinchliffe Stadium", are trying to bring the stadium back to its former glory.
