for Lancaster Barnstormers (Baseball team)
Biography"The Lancaster Barnstormers are an American professional baseball team based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They are a member of the North Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, a "partner league" of Major League Baseball.[1][2] The Barnstormers have played their home games at Clipper Magazine Stadium in the city's Northwest Corridor since 2005. The team's name, selected in a fan ballot,[3] refers to the tradition of "barnstorming," which means to travel around an area appearing in exhibition sports events, especially baseball games.[4] The term was used to describe Lancaster's baseball teams as early as 1906 when the Lancaster Daily Intelligencer reported, "There was a crowd of between seven and eight hundred persons out on Friday to see the Lancaster barnstormers play the Philadelphia Giants."[5] Their original primary logo incorporated the colors red, navy blue, and khaki previously used by the Lancaster Red Roses of affiliated Minor League Baseball from 1940 to 1961.[6] The name and logo also allude to Lancaster's Pennsylvania Dutch agricultural heritage."--Wikipedia, 2021
