In 1895 and again from 1899 to 1904 there was a local team, the Dorps, designated a Class “B” team in the New York State League. In 1946, there were the Schenectady Blue Jays which stayed until 1957. The team was a farm team for the Philadelphia Phillies. Between 1904 and 1946 there was also a talented professional Negro team, the Mohawk Colored Giants of Schenectady. Baseball was a popular local sport from 1895 to 1957. It was truly the “national pastime.” There was no NBA. The NFL was a fledgling operation. Baseball stars were national idols with names such as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lefty Grove, Grover Alexander, Dizzy Dean, Joe Di Maggio, Lou Gehrig, Bob Feller, and Hank Greenberg. The players on these local teams were sturdy, mostly young, “imported” players, i.e. non-residents. They came from Kansas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Florida. The ones from New York mostly came from the Bronx, Buffalo, and Syracuse. They were paid, full-time players, which meant playing seven days or nights a week. It was a summer life of long bus rides, mid- sized towns, woolen uniforms, crowded sweaty locker rooms, small hotel rooms, nagging injuries, fan adulation, camaraderie, constant pressure, modest paychecks, and disappointments - but always there were dreams. The dream of the players, whether white or black, was to reach the major leagues. A few (about 5%) did. (continued on pages 4 and 5) 1 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Letter from the President EDWIN D.
