TheBradford Bees was an Americanminor league baseball team that was based inBradford, Pennsylvania during the twentieth century.
The Bradford Bees was a charter member of thePennsylvania-Ontario-New York (PONY) League and played eighteen seasons from 1939 to 1957 (the team sat out the 1943 season due to World War II). Over the course of the team's history, the team also played under the namesBradford Beagles, Bradford Blue Wings, Bradford Phillies andBradford Yankees.
As the Bees, the team won the league title in 1941. The Blue Wings also won a league title in 1949.
In its final season, the Beagles split their schedule between Bradford andHornell after theHornell Dodgers had ceased operations; in Hornell, the team was known as theHornell Redlegs.
Bradford no longer hosts baseball at the professional level, nor does it hostsummer baseball as a few other former PONY League markets that have shrunk to the point where they can no longer support the professional game have done.
