Jane Leavy Zitate

By the 1880s, baseball was entrenched in the Cape's sandy soil. Semipro teams, commonplace before World War I, were organized into the first Cape Cod League in 1923 - Orleans joined the four original teams five years later. By 1940, the league had foundered on financial shoals and disbanded.

In den 1880er Jahren war Baseball im sandigen Boden des Kaps verankert. Semipro-Teams, die vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg üblich waren, wurden 1923 in der ersten Cape Cod League organisiert - fünf Jahre später kam Orleans zu den vier ursprünglichen Teams. Bis 1940 hatte die Liga an finanziellen Untiefen versagt und sich aufgelöst.
