There has been a New York-Penn League franchise located in Auburn since 1958. Several players have passed through Auburn on their way to the majors (Cleon Jones, Ed Kranepool, Jerry Koosman, Mel Stottlemyre, Joe Pepitone, Tug McGraw, Billy Wagner, and Johan Santana to name a few). The Doubledays are owned by the city of Auburn and operated and managed by a limited liability corporation on behalf of the city. The
team is for sale and in October, 2016, the city hired an advisor to help find a buyer who is committed to keeping the team in Auburn. Their player development contract with the Washington Nationals runs through 2018.
Location: Auburn is located at the north end of Owasco Lake, one of the Finger Lakes, in Central New York. Population is approximately 27,000.
