1949-50 Portland Penguins. One-year wonders playing in the Western Hockey League. Complete with "Mr. Perkins", their mascot, lower right, waddling out of the picture.

The Savannah Redlegs were around from 1956-59. Here's a program and team photo from their last year...

The Vancouver Mounties second run at the PCL lasted from '65 through '69. Great baseball, great stadium.

Some time ago I picked this warm-up jacket patch and a program from the Terre Haute Huts who were a Detroit Tiger's minor league team from 1955-56.

Not really vintage, but two pieces of pieces that I nearly forgot about...
1-Massachusetts Mad Dogs Game Worn Jersey-Played in the independent Can Am league from 1996-1999. Folded up after 1999 due to issues with their Ballpark in Lynn Mass (Fraser Field). The ownership group came back into the fold 3 years later with the help of Jonathan Fleisig and Moved the Franchise to Pittsfield MA to form the Berkshire Black Bears... 2-Berkshire Black Bears Game Worn Jersey- These guys had minimal success in Pittsfield and relocated the team to New Haven (County Cutters) after just two season. Lack of support and the sun constantly being in the players eyes was surely a contributing factor to their demise... I had several cutters jerseys, but gave them away thinking that I would come across one again (not the case)... |

Here's about as "short-lived" as you can get.
The Texas City Stars of the Class A Lone Star League lasted 1 season, 1977. They went 35-41 drawing 12,305 for the season, they were managed by Al Gallagher. ![]() ![]() Last edited by Jay Wolt; 03-22-2015 at 06:25 PM. |

Many many thanks guys for the great stuff. Jay, looks like you have more tickets to Stars games than the team actually sold. Daves your Mass. Mad Dogs team reminds me of my local Mankato Moon Dogs team, still in operation in the Northwoods League and one-time employer of current SF Giants SS Brandon Crawford (as well as Curtis Granderson when the team went by its former name of Mashers--both played in the same park as the Mankato Mets from my initial post).
MK, perfect example of what I was thinking with the Mankato Mets--short term Midwest baseball. Now if current hurler Joba Chamberlain was there, they really would have a Joba the Hut. Bumpus and Grainsley, that program-- "Ride Nancy Hanks"-- along with those suggestive Mounties cap logos make me wonder if I took the wrong pill this morning. Michael, nice piece. I'm sure you researched it, but it was nice to see Art Stroble, who not only was an NHLer himself, but the father of Eric Stroble, Miracle on Ice player who I was lucky enough to watch play in high school and college (flowing blond locks and deceptive speed made him stand out). Really enjoyable stuff.
