Description	Rajter, "A Guide to Historic Lakeland," p. 25 has a photo, dated "about 1885" of baseball being played at Munn Park in that city. Same p. 37 says Lakeland hosted the Polk County Fair in 1898, where baseball was played. Lakeland was incorporated in 1885. It was the longtime home of spring training for the Detroit Tigers.
