The '''New York–Penn League''' ('''NYPL''') was a [[Minor League Baseball]] league that operated in the [[northeastern United States]] from 1939 to 2020. Classified as a [[Class A Short Season]] league, its season started in June, after [[Major League Baseball|major-league]] teams signed their amateur draft picks to professional contracts, and ended in early September.

In 2019, its last season of operation, the NYPL had 14 teams from eight different states. In addition to [[New York (state)|New York]] and [[Pennsylvania]], from which the league drew its name, the NYPL also had clubs in [[Maryland]], [[Massachusetts]], [[Ohio]], [[Vermont]], [[West Virginia]], and [[Connecticut]].

The [[Brooklyn Cyclones]] were the last [[List of New York–Penn League champions|NYPL champions]], defeating the [[Lowell Spinners]], two games to one, in 2019. The [[Oneonta Yankees|Oneonta Yankees/Tigers]] won 12 championships, the most among all teams in the league, followed by the [[Auburn Doubledays|Auburn Mets/Twins/Phillies/Doubledays]] (8) and [[Jamestown Expos|Jamestown Falcons/Expos]] (7).

==History==
The New York–Penn League was founded in 1939 as the '''Pennsylvania–Ontario–New York League''', generally shortened to '''PONY League''',{{efn|Not to be confused with [[PONY Baseball and Softball]], a youth sports organization established in Pennsylvania in 1951, or its annual [[Pony League World Series]].}} in a hotel in [[Batavia, New York]]. The original teams included the [[Batavia Muckdogs|Batavia Clippers]], [[Bradford Bees]], [[Hamilton Red Wings (baseball)|Hamilton Red Wings]], [[Jamestown Jaguars]], [[Niagara Falls Rainbows]], and [[Olean Oilers]]; all were based in or near [[Western New York]].  The Oilers, a [[Brooklyn Dodgers]] affiliate, won both the regular season and playoff championships. Batavia was the last remaining charter city in the league when it ceased operations after the 2020 season.

The Hamilton Red Wings folded early in the 1956 season, and with no more teams in [[Ontario]], the circuit became the New York–Penn League in 1957.  The league crossed back into Canada with the formation of the [[St. Catharines Blue Jays]] in 1986.  They were joined by the [[Hamilton Redbirds]] in 1987 and the [[Welland Pirates]] in 1989, but all three clubs had moved back to the United States by 2000.

The New York–Penn circuit was originally a [[Class D (baseball)|Class D]] league (the minors' lowest classification through 1962). It was a [[Class A (baseball)|full-season Class A]] league from 1963 through 1966, and became a [[short-season]] Class A league in 1967.

The start of the 2020 season was postponed due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] before being cancelled on June 30.<ref>{{cite news |title=A Message From Pat O'Conner|url=https://www.milb.com/milb/news/message-from-minor-league-baseball-president-ceo-pat-o-conner-313052288|website=Minor League Baseball|date=March 13, 2020|access-date=May 5, 2020}}</ref><ref name=2020can>{{cite news |title=2020 Minor League Baseball Season Shelved|url=https://www.milb.com/news/2020-minor-league-baseball-season-shelved|website=Minor League Baseball|date=June 30, 2020|access-date=July 1, 2020}}</ref>

{{Main|List of New York–Penn League champions}}

League champions were determined by different means during the New York–Penn League's 82-year run from 1939 to 2020. For a few seasons in the 1960s and 1970s, no playoffs were held and the league champions were simply the regular season pennant winners. Most seasons, however, ended with playoffs to determine a league champion.<ref name=champions>{{Cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/news/gcs-66405068|title=New York–Penn League Champions|website=New York–Penn League|publisher=Minor League Baseball|access-date=August 9, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160531195604/http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20140108&content_id=66405068&fext=.jsp&sid=l127&vkey=league2|archive-date=2016-05-31 }}</ref>
