"I feel like I'm walking 10 feet tall to be on this field knowing the history, knowing what was overcome to get to this day,"Simmie Pipkin Jr. was born just four years after the stadium was built and watched in pride as it was rebuilt.The mayor of Paterson says he hopes to one day host an MLB game at Hinchliffe Stadium.
