Newburgh Hummingbirds
The Newburgh Hummingbirds were a North Atlantic League baseball team based in Newburgh, New York, USA that played for part of the 1946 season.
==History==
The Hummingbirds were charter members of the North Atlantic League, a Class D circuit which was one of many minor leagues to pop up after the end of World War II. However, the Birds seemed cursed from the start: the club had difficulty finding a home field, finally signing an agreement with Delano-Hitch Stadium (then called Recreation Park) just a week before opening day. Former Yankees third baseman Joe Dugan was offered the manager's job, but he turned Newburgh down; the position went to Frank Novosel instead.
The season itself started inauspiciously when only 259 fans attended the home opener on May 10; the fact that Rec Park was not an enclosed facility did not encourage fans to buy tickets. Rain cancelled the next two day's games, then team president Leo Groom died suddenly. More rain deluged the Newburgh area, and the Birds didn't play again until May 17: a 4-3 win over Mahanoy City which was called after seven innings due to darkness. It would be the last game the Hummingbirds would ever play in Newburgh.
