Roesink Stadium/Hamtramck Stadium
After a fire destroyed much of Mark Park in 1929, the owner of the Detroit Stars in the Negro National League built a new stadium for his team in Hamtramck. Ty Cobb was selected to toss the first pitch for the 1930 season. This baseball park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places this week, largely through the efforts of Detroit resident and baseball historian, Gary Gilette.
