History of the Team
In 1883  Charles F. Fleischmann , owner
of the Fleischmann Company famous for
its yeast and whiskey, bought property
near the Ulster & Delaware railroad
station.


From 1890-1912, the Fleischmanns
community  went by two separate names.
From the east end of the village to what
is now Bridge Street was Griffin Corners
and from Division Street to the Ulster &
Delaware Railroad was Fleischmann. The
village  did not become Fleischmanns
until 1913.

Fleischmanns Park,  the north side of
Wagner Avenue, was a gift to the village
in May 1914 from Julius Fleischmann, son
of Charles. Baseball was one of their
many interests. The park was known as
the Mountain Athletic Club,  where  
players came before the start of the
regular season. Even John Peter Honus
Wagner, the Flying Dutchman played on
the team.

The park was deeded to the community to
be used as a park and athletic grounds;
it would never be sold or sublet and it
would always remain free access to the
public, until 1934 when the village
obtained  release from the family so
that  for certain events, there could be
a fee.
