electricians vans

The Schenectady Electricians were a minor league baseball team based in Schenectady, New York and Schenectady County, New York. Schenectady teams played as members of the New York State League (1895, 1898–1904) and Eastern Association (1909), winning the 1903 New York State League championship. Schenectady hosted minor league home games at the County Fairgrounds through 1900 before moving home gamed to Island Park.
During their championship season in 1903, the entire Schenectady team was jailed overnight for violating local Blue laws after playing a home game on a Sunday.
The team nickname corresponds to Schenectady being the headquarters for the Edison Electric Company (today's General Electric) in the era.
In the era of segregated baseball, the Electricians were succeeded in organized baseball by the 1913 and 1914 Schenectady Mohawk Giants of the Negro Leagues and in minor league play by the 1947 Schenectady Blue Jays, who began play in the Canadian-American League.
