  The New York Collegiate Baseball League, founded in 1978, is a summer wood bat league sanctioned by the NCAA and partially funded by Major League Baseball. The league gives college players who have not yet signed a professional contract the opportunity to develop their skills at a higher level of play, gain experience with wood bats, and be evaluated by scouts. The NYCBL is located in scenic Upstate New York. Teams play a 44 game regular season schedule with games beginning in June and ending in the last week in July. All games are 9 innings, with most doubleheaders scheduled on the weekends. The All-Star game will be played in early July, and the League Championship Series concludes in the first week of August. Many current and former Major League Players have spent a summer playing in the NYCBL including the players below: Hunter Pence Tim Hudson Brad Lidge Brendan Harris Steve Kline Jeremy Accardo Dallas Braden Kirt Manwaring Scott Sauerbeck Clay Bellinger Lou Merloni Mitch Wylie John McDonald Tim Naehring Scott Cassidy Past NYCBL Championship Teams 2007 - Elmira Pioneers 2006 - Saratoga Phillies 2005 - Hornell Dodgers 2004 - Amsterdam Mohawks 2003 - Amsterdam Mohawks 2002 - Hornell Dodgers 2001 - Rome Indians 2000 - Hornell Dodgers 1999 - Newark Raptors 1998 - Geneva Knights 1997 - Ithaca Lakers 1996 - Ithaca Lakers 1995 - Hornell Dodgers 1994 - Ithaca Lakers 1993 - Little Falls Diamonds 1992 - Little Falls Diamonds 1991 - Broome Rangers 1990 - Little Falls Diamonds 1988 - Schenectady Mohawks 1987 - Cohocton Red Wings 1986 - Cohocton Red Wings 1985 - Broome Rangers 1984 - Broome Rangers 1983 - Broome Rangers 1982 - Cortland Apples 1981 - Broome Rangers 1980 - Broome Rangers 1979 - Syracuse Chiefs 1978 - Syracuse Chiefs |
