Channel your inner baseball fan with this nostalgic Oneonta Tigers New York-Penn League t-shirt. Featuring the iconic team logo with a perfectly distressed, cracked, vintage feel that captures the memorable era of this beloved franchise.
The Oneonta Tigers established themselves as a cornerstone of minor league baseball in central New York from 1999 to 2009. Playing at historic Damaschke Field, the Tigers served as the Short-Season Class A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers in the New York-Penn League. The intimate ballpark setting and affordable family entertainment made the O-Tigers a summer tradition for residents of Oneonta and surrounding communities for over a decade.
Despite their popularity and role in developing future MLB talent, the Oneonta Tigers' tenure came to an end following the 2009 season. Facing declining attendance and economic challenges in the region, the franchise was relocated to Norwich, Connecticut, where they became the Connecticut Tigers (now the Norwich Sea Unicorns). Though the team has moved on, the memories of summer nights watching future stars at Damaschke Field remain an important part of Oneonta's sporting legacy.
