Haverhill Hillies

Lowell and Manchester were followed in the final standings by the Fall River Cascades (19–21) and Providence Rhode Islanders (11–29).

The Lynn Live Oaks (8–22), Fitchburg, Haverhill and Lawrence franchises all folded before the 1877 New England Association season ended on October 15, 1877.

Haverhill was 13.0 games behind the first place Lewiston Red Sox when the league stopped play before the end of the season.

[14] Jesse Burkett was a Baseball Hall of Fame player, who won three National League batting titles between 1895 and 1901, twice hitting over .400.

[15] Before joining Haverhill, Burkett had previously managed and played sporadically for the Worcester Busters in the New England League from 1906 to 1915.

[18][3] Haverhill joined the Lawrence Merry Macks, Lewiston Twins, Lowell Highwaymen, Lynn Papooses, Manchester Blue Sox, Nashua Millionaires and Portland Eskimos teams in beginning play for the reformed league on May 11, 1926.

Playing under returning manager John Kiernan, the Hillies finished 25.5 games behind the first place Lynn Papooses.

In the playoff, Lynn swept Portland in four games to win the New England League championship.

[3][25] Frank McCrehan was a pitcher for the 1927 Haverhill Hillies, compiling a 7–4 record and an ERA of 4.25 on the season.

[29] The 1928 Haverhill Hillies improved from last place the previous season to a seventh-place overall finish in the New England League.

[3][31][32] Haverhill pitcher Phil Dolan led the New England League with a 14–4 record.

After finishing an inning, Slayton reportedly asked Boston manager Bill Carrigan, "No shift?"

Carrigan, who was hard of hearing, misheard the question and thought the rookie Slaton had made a different comment.

He coached his alma mater Spaulding High School baseball team to four state championships before his retirement in 1966.

The team placed eighth in the standings, playing under managers Jack Driscoll and William McDonough.

[42] The stadium was opened in 1916 and bricks from two demolished shoe factories were reused to build the facility.

[46] Before renovations, attempts were made in 2004 to have the stadium listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
