TEAM HISTORY
Baseball has deep roots in Jamestown, New York. The Jamestown Falcons date back to the late 1930s, and many professional baseball clubs have used Diethrick Park as a development ground for their farm systems. The Detroit Tigers, Atlanta Braves, Montreal Expos, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Miami Marlins have all developed professional ball players in Jamestown, New York.
Jamestown baseball has evolved from the days of the New York-Penn League, to the New York Prospect League, and now to the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League.
The Jamestown franchise has won 8 Championships:
Jamestown Falcons – PONY League Champions – 1942, 1944, 1947, 1952, 1953
Jamestown Expos – New York-Penn League Champions – 1989, 1991
Jamestown Jammers – Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League Champions – 2018
Many incredible Major League stars played here: Los Angeles Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts, National Baseball Hall of Famer Randy Johnson, and current New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton.
The history of Jamestown baseball continues at Russell E. Diethrick, Jr. Park to this day!
The Jamestown Tarp Skunks baseball park is named for “Mr. Baseball”, Russ Diethrick – humble local leader, and highly renowned sports and recreation personality in Jamestown, New York. His contributions at the community level have been unmatched, and his work with the Jamestown Babe Ruth World Series has helped put Jamestown on the baseball map. He is our very special, one of a kind Russ of all Trades. He and his wife, June, are instrumental leaders in the Jamestown community.
Formerly known as College Stadium, the ballpark has been ingrained in Jamestown community history for over seven decades. The park seats 3,000 people in a general admission format. Hall of Fame caliber players such as Nellie Fox once patrolled the confines during Minor League Baseball action.
The park sits undisturbed in a beautiful setting away from the busier streets, nestled between the John S. Sinatra Soap Box Derby hill, Jamestown Community College campus, and a gorgeous grove of trees and wildlife. When you walk into the park, it always feels like its time for baseball!
