The Allentown Cardinals were a minor league baseball team. Affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals, they played in the Class B Interstate League between 1944 and 1952; then in the Class A Eastern League from 1954 to 1956.
The Cardinals played at Fairview Field until 1948, when they moved into the new Breadon Field, a steel and concrete stadium that seated 5,000 fans, which was located just north of the city in Whitehall Township. Poor attendance led to the teams demise after the 1956 season.
Did not play in 1953 season
