The Sunbury Shop Team - Industrial League Baseball

 
1910 Sunbury Shop Team

The Sunbury Shop Baseball Team was part of the Industrial League, which in this area included teams from Sunbury Shops (Railroad), Northumberland Car Shops (Again, cars at this time referred to rail cars - railroad team) The Sunbury Silk Mill, the Converting Works,  the Northumberland Yard , and the "B.M.A."- which I believe stood for Business Mans Association.

This Doctors & Lawyers Baseball team MAY be the BMA team - although I'm really not certain.

In 1915, "Bruce Keller, a local boy who knows a thing or two about the national game" was captain of the Sunbury shop team in the railroad league.

1916 Sunbury Shop Team

A 1927 wedding announcement for Ralph "Skaly" Wagner states that he was a former P.R.R. player in Sunbury.  Skaly also played for the Sunbury Cyclones, in that 1922 game against Williamsport that lasted for 19 innings.  [Were the Clyclones a P.R.R. team?  I really don't know]
