Stroudsburg Poconos

The Stroudsburg Poconos, located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, were a minor league baseball team that played in the Interstate League in 1932 and in the North Atlantic League from 1946 to 1950. They were affiliated with the New York Yankees in 1947 and the Cleveland Indians in 1949. They played their home games at Gordon Gifels Field.

They went 19–7 in their first season of existence. The league folded on June 20, 1932, while the team was leading in the standings. The team would not exist again until they were reformed under the North Atlantic League in 1946.

The 1949 team was recognized as one of the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time. They went 101–36 that year.[1]

Following the 1950 season, the North Atlantic League folded and the Stroudsburg Poconos folded as well.
