Elizabeth Resolutes

Elizabeth Resolutes

The Elizabeth Resolutes were a 19th century baseball team based in Elizabeth, New Jersey. They were a member of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, baseball's first major league, in 1873.

The club played just 23 games in its lone season, finishing with two victories against 21 defeats. Hugh Campbell was the pitcher of record for both wins and 16 of the losses. The Resolutes' leading hitter was Art Allison, who batted .323, his best season, while playing all 23 games, mostly in the outfield.

Home grounds for the Resolutes was Waverly Fairgrounds, although they lost all eight games they played there.

Although Philadelphia teams occasionally played games in New Jersey on Sundays to circumvent blue laws, the Resolutes and the 1915 Newark Pepper of the Federal League are the only major league teams to call New Jersey home.
