With the formation of the Wilmington (NC) Baseball Stock company and its promise to raise money to improve the local park's playing conditions, Philadelphia selects the Southeastern coastal locale to be its spring training home for the next two seasons. In March, the Phillies become the first major league team to play in the Port City when they beat the International League's Baltimore Orioles, 5-1, in front of nearly 2,000 fans at Sunset Park. (Ed. Note: The team departs the city after finishing their 1915 exhibition schedule, citing logistical problems) |
