Bangor Blue Ox

Bangor's starting rotation was led by former Major Leaguer Oil Can Boyd, who at age 36 was attempting a comeback.

Although Mahaney Diamond was a very suitable college baseball field, it was simply not designed to be a permanent minor-league park.

The team was sold to new ownership and moved to Quebec City for the 1998 season; the franchise still exists as the Québec Capitales.

In 1996, former infielder/outfielder Dick Phillips, who had already managed almost 1,500 minor league games in the Twins, Padres and Brewers systems before piloting Bangor, played four seasons in the early 1960s for the Giants and Senators.
