The league was founded in 1939 with the name "Pennsylvania-Ontario-New York League". This was generally shortened to "PONY League". The original teams included the Batavia Clippers ; the Bradford Bees ; the Hamilton Red Wings ; the Jamestown Jaguars ; the Niagara Falls Rainbows ; and the Olean Oilers . The Oilers, a Brooklyn Dodgers affiliate, won both the regular-season and playoff championships. The Hamilton Red Wings folded early in the 1956 season, and with no more teams in Ontario , the league adopted its current name in 1957 . The league crossed back into Canada with the formation of the St. Catharines Blue Jays in 1986 . They were joined by the Hamilton Redbirds in 1987 and the Welland Pirates in 1989 , but all three clubs had moved back stateside by 2000 . For the upcoming 2006 season, the league includes teams in Maryland , Massachusetts , Ohio , and Vermont , as well as in New York and Pennsylvania .
