BCHS Champions

Here's a great moment in local history of the 1927 Binghamton Central High School Baseball Team who were the Southern Tier Champions that year. Their Team Photo is shown here at Recreation Park above the baseball field with the Merry-Go-Round in the background.

Binghamton Triplets

The Triple Cities have a long baseball history with teams such as the Triplets, the minor league team affiliated with the New York Yankees who played from 1923 to 1968. Fans crowded Johnson Field each year to watch their home team play in Johnson City. And to the excitement of all, the Yankees with such greats as Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and

Mickey Mantle would even play one exhibition game here each year. The success of our farm league proved to be a major scouting attraction for the majors winning championships in the league in 1929, 1933, 1935, 1940, 1944, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1965, and 1967. With team notables making it to the majors like Hall of Famers Whitey Ford, Lefty Gomez, and Tony LaRussa, and dozens of MLB All Stars like Thurman Munson, the Triple Cities became well known nationally for producing great talent.
