Gettysburg Ponies

The Chambersburg Maroons, Frederick Hustlers, Hagerstown Blues, Hanover Hornets and Martinsburg Champs joined Gettysburg in beginning league play on May 27, 1915.

Gettysburg finished 25.0 games behind the first place Frederick Hustlers in the final standings, as the league held no playoffs.

Gettysburg ended the 1916 season with a record of 35–56, playing under returning manager Ira Plank and finished 17.0 games behind the first place Chambersburg Maroons.

Jimmy Dykes reported later that some of the players on the Gettysburg team traveled to some of the other league clubs to try and play under an alias to earn additional some money.

Jamison took the franchise away from Gettysburg and began talking with Piedmont, West Virginia and York, Pennsylvania, representatives about taking the team.

Local Gettysburg business leaders organized and collected the minimum funds to keep the club running for the remainder of the season.

The ballpark had no outfield fences and was plagued by automobiles parked near the diamond interfering with live baseballs and providing seating for fans wishing to avoid paying admission.
