Professional baseball’s roots in Rochester go back to the 1800s. The precursors to the Red Wings began play in 1877, and the franchise started in 1899. They’re one of the longest-running pro baseball teams in the world. Through two world wars, the Great Depression, baseball strikes and many more ups and downs, every Rochester summer has had professional baseball. Until now.
