| Description | The city of Gary was founded in 1906. However, on the site of modern Gary, the Aetna Powder Plant operated, about 1 mile west of Miller Station. According to Lane's "Gary, Indiana: A Pictorial History," p. 18, the plant had a team that played other teams in the area by 1897. Seymour's "Baseball: The People's Game" v. 3 p. 230 notes Steel Company teams playing in 1914. |
