The first team, in 1939, was known as the Jamestown Jaguars, a Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate, but it folded after only one year.
From 1941 onward, they played their home games at Jamestown Municipal Stadium, now known as Russell Dietrick Park.
In 1990, the television show Candid Camera planned to do a segment of minor league baseball.
After consulting the front office in Montreal, Candid Camera came to Jamestown to do a prank on pitcher Bob Baxter.
Host Peter Funt played as the umpire, as the catcher gave fake signals to pitcher Baxter.
