This Date in New York-Penn League History: December 11, 1961

League president Vincent McNamara says there are three cities interested in replacing Elmira in the New York-Penn League. Elmira is moving to the Eastern League for the 1962 season.

McNamara indicated that Hamilton, Ontario, Bradford, Pennsylvania and Warren, Pennsylvania are all interested in fielding a team.

(Note: Elmira moved to the Eastern League, however, none of the three interested cities were added. The New York-Penn League dropped to six teams in 1962 with the loss of teams in Elmira and Hornell.)
