Putnam Grounds is a former baseball ground located in Troy, New York, USA. The ground was home to the Troy Trojans baseball club from May 28, 1879 to September 20, 1879.
Putnams' Grounds is in what is now the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. It was at this baseball park in 1860 that the championship game was called a tie as a result of fan conduct. The Brooklyn Atlantics were the team to beat, but the Brooklyn Excelsiors were winning. The failure of the Atlantics to acknowledge a loss resulted in continuing tension between the teams.
