[edit] The Beginning

Baseball first came to Lancaster County in the 1860s by soldiers returning home from the Civil War. They learned the rules while serving in the military and wanted to continue playing.^[9] The very first professional baseball teams in Lancaster were the Lancaster Lancasters and the Lancaster Ironsides. The Lancasters played in the Keystone Association and the Ironsides played in the Eastern League, both starting in 1884. The following season, the Lancasters joined the Eastern League, and the two teams became bitter rivals. They competed against each other for fan support, league affiliation, and money at the gate. At its peak, insults and refusals to play against each other were the norm. The teams finally agreed to play each other at the end of the 1884 season, in which the Ironsides defeated the Lancasters after seven very close games. The Lancasters were the only team to continue play in the next season.^[10] Combatants United States of America (Union) Confederate States of America (Confederacy) Commanders Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S.

The Eastern League is a minor league baseball league which operates primarily in the northeastern United States, although it now has a team in Ohio. ...

[edit] The 1890s

In the 1894-1895 season, a team called the Lancaster Chicks played in the Keystone Association. An all-Black team called the Lancaster Giants followed in 1887, and many Lancastrians supported the team despite the social pressure of the day. The Giants hosted many exhibition games against the Philadelphia Giants of the Keystone Club.^[11]

1958 Lancaster Red Roses

Between the years 1896 and 1899, the first team called the Lancaster Maroons played in the original Atlantic League. In 1905, the second inception of the Maroons played in the Tri-State League.^[12] Image File history File links RedRoses. ... Image File history File links RedRoses. ...

[edit] Lancaster Red Roses

In 1906, the Maroons became the Lancaster Red Roses. As both teams were named for the opposing factions in England's historic Wars of the Roses, the name change infuriated the rival White Roses from the nearby city of York.^[13] Lancaster York For other uses, see Wars of the Roses (disambiguation). ...

[edit] Lancaster's New Era: The Barnstormers

In 2003, the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball formally announced an expansion franchise for Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In October of that year the team was named the Barnstormers and Lancastrians held their collective breath for the team to sign Tom Herr, a Lancaster native, to be the manager. In November 2004, the Barnstormers announced the signing of Herr as the first team manager.^[14] At the press conference, Herr responded, "I have been looking forward to the return of baseball to Lancaster for quite some time. This is almost too good to be true, being able to manage in my hometown." His son, Aaron, was to play with Lancaster until he was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals before the start of the Atlantic League season, and allocated to their Class AA affiliate, the Springfield Cardinals, in 2005.^[15] The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, based in Camden, New Jersey, is a professional, independent baseball organization located in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States, especially the greater metropolitan areas of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C.

The Lancaster Barnstormers' first playing season came in 2005 at the newly-built Clipper Magazine Stadium. On May 11, the Barnstormers lost their first game 4-3 to the Atlantic City Surf, in front of 7,300 fans. They finished the 2005 season with a record of 64 wins and 76 losses. In finishing the first half of the 2006 season with a record of 38-25, the Barnstormers qualified for their first Atlantic League playoff berth. They followed this feat with a second-half win, posting a record of 37-26. After besting division challenger Atlantic City in the first round of the playoffs, the Barnstormers swept the Bridgeport Bluefish on October 1, 2006 for their first ever Atlantic League championship, in only their second season. Pitcher Denny Harriger threw a complete game, breaking a franchise record for consecutive pitches. In doing so, the Barnstormers became the first Atlantic League team in history to sweep their way through both rounds of the playoffs on the way to a title. It was the city of Lancaster’s first professional championship since 1955, when the former Red Roses won the old Piedmont League title.

[edit] Logos and uniforms

The team colors of the Lancaster Barnstormers are red, navy blue, and khaki. These were the same colors used by the Red Roses, Lancaster's former professional baseball team, and represent a conscious effort to make a connection between the past and the present of baseball in Lancaster County. The Barnstormers logo consists of a typical red barn outlined in navy blue with a streaking baseball. Unlike most sports logos, the city name is prominently featured rather than the team nickname. Team management decided to emphasize the Lancaster community, so that the whole county could feel a sense of ownership and pride.^[17] The Lancaster Red Roses was among dozens of semi-professional baseball teams that participated in the Tri-State League in the early 20th century. ... Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, known as the Garden Spot of America since the 18th century, is located in the southeastern part of the state of Pennsylvania, in the United States. ...

The Lancaster Barnstormers uniforms are traditional in design. The primary cap is red throughout with a stylized, cursive "L" colored white, navy blue, and khaki, interwoven with a streaking baseball centered on the front. The Barnstormers wordmark is centered on the back toward the lower edge of the cap. The team also has an alternate navy blue cap. The home jerseys are white with traditional red piping. The cursive "Lancaster" wordmark is prominently displayed on the front of the jersey in red outlined in khaki and navy blue. The away jersey is grey with red piping on the sleeves and the word "Lancaster" in red block letters oulined in navy blue, arched across the front. The Barnstormers wear red belts, socks, and undershirts with all uniforms.

The Lancaster Barnstormers have had three different alternate jerseys throughout their short history. In the 2005 inaugural season, the team wore navy blue alternates with the "Barnstormers" wordmark featured in white with red outline. For the 2006 season, the navy blue alternates were replaced with red, with the "Barnstomers" wordmark featured in navy blue with white outline. Sleeveless, white alternates were introduced for the 2008 season, with the "Barnstormers" wordmark across the front in red outlined in navy blue.

For the "War of the Roses" series, the Barnstormers wear throwback uniforms of the Lancaster Red Roses. The Red Roses caps are navy blue with a white, Old English "L" centered on the front. The jerseys are white with red piping and the Old English "L" centered on the left-side chest, also in red.^[18]

[edit] "War of the Roses"

The South Central Pennsylvania cities of Lancaster and York have a historical rivalry in all sporting events from the high school level to the professional. As both cities are named after the English cities of Lancaster and York, the former Pennsylvania baseball teams were named for the opposing sides of the Wars of the Roses. Just as in the English battles, the Lancaster Red Roses and the York White Roses fought intense baseball matches throughout their existence. With the addition of York to the Atlantic League, the Barnstormers continue the Red Roses tradition as they battle the York Revolution for lower Susquehanna supremacy.

With the sound of cannons, the "War of the Roses" was rekindled in April 2007 in the town of Wrightsville, a town on the natural boundary between Lancaster and York counties: the Susquehanna River. The terms of the series include the losing mayor planting a rose garden in front of the winning team's ballpark using the victor's choice of rose, and singing the classic, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", during a game of the winning team. The victor’s banner is also hung above the losing city hall for one week following the clinching game. The Barnstormers and the Revolution both wear throwback uniforms for the entire first "War of the Roses" series of the season, as well as the first game in the remaining "War of the Roses" series during the rest of the season. The Lancaster Barnstormers wear 1958 Red Roses uniforms that are auctioned off to the Water Street Rescue Mission following their last home game. The winner of the "War of the Roses" series is presented with the Community Cup.^[20] The Barnstormers won the first "War of the Roses" series in the 2007 season, with a record of 10-8.
