The then York White Roses won the New York-Penn league title on September 25, 1925, beating Williamsport in 11 innings in the fourth and decisive game of a best-of-five series after a 77-55 regular season. York first baseman Del Bissonette homered in the bottom of the 11th to clinch the title. The manager of that York team was Rube Dessau, who pitched in the Major Leagues for the Boston Doves and the Brooklyn Superbas between 1907 and 1910.
York fans would have to wait until 1969 to celebrate another minor league title, then 41 years after that for York's third - this time in the form of the Revolution's 2010 Atlantic League Championship.
