The Philadelphia Tigers were a Negro league baseball team that played briefly in the 1928 Eastern Colored League (ECL) before the circuit disbanded in early June. The Tigers, organized by Smittie Lucas, featured a few well-known east coast players, such as Bill Yancey, George Johnson, and McKinley Downs, but no real stars.

They played at Pencoyd Field,[1] which was near Wissahickon station in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia[2] at Template:Coord.[3]

After the ECL fell apart, the Tigers struggled on as a marginal independent team into July before disbanding.
