The Worcester's only played for a few years in the early 1880's. They had the first perfect game. And we the first professional team to play in Cuba. Their ball field was at the Worcester Agricultural Fair Grounds. Which is long gone. There are 3 decker houses built on it. Three decker houses are all wood apartments built one of top of the others. And are unique to New England

At least a few ballplayers came from Worcester. My former boss, an attorney, was named after Jack Barry. When I worked in Worcester at the courthouse one of the women I knew was the mother of Tanyon Sturtze.
