Following the New York-Penn League Made Easy

The Stedler Report is a blog about baseball in the Short Season Class A New York-Penn League. It is not affiliated with Minor League Baseball, the New York Penn League, or any of its members. There are no subscription fees or advertising.

Follow The Stedler Report on Twitter @1blackbear53. I post on Twitter each time there is something new to read at the blog.

Why the name, The Stedler Report? It is named in honor of Robert C. Stedler, who was the sports editor of the Buffalo Evening News. Through his efforts, the PONY League (later known as the New York-Penn League) was organized with teams located in Pennsylvania, Ontario, and New York. He served as league president from 1939-47.
New York-Penn League play opens on June 19 and the regular season concludes on September 7. Playoffs follow with the three division champions and one wild card team playing for the league championship in a best of 3 game format.
