South Starrucca
Ainspans - 1902-1974
Marty Fiehl, GM
Member of TCBA Hall
of Fame
Franchise #8 and #11
History
Brief: After seventy-seven amazing
seasons in South Starrucca, Franchise #8 was sold to a California
investment group in Santa Cruz in 1976. Using the proceeds from that sale,
a new Franchise #11 was established by South Starrucca's former owners. The
new Ainspan team won a division crown in 1977, but then suddenly closed the
gates, selling what remained of a legendary franchise to Irish investor
Paul McGowan. The upstart Franchise #11 has changed hands eleven times
since then and is currently represented by the Rochester Cheetahs. After being sold at the
end of the 1977 season, the original South Starrucca Franchise #8 changed
hands five more times before being rescued by Stick Fiehl's boyhood friend,
Frank Tedeschi, who moved the team to Bethesda in 1989. Stick Fiehl returned to
the league in 1981, ironically rescuing Franchise #18, which had been
abandoned by Tedeschi in late 1978. Fiehl moved the team from Boston in
1982, establishing what would become one of the league's most powerful and
successful organizations in Scranton.
