[edit] Team Bio
The Allegheny Athletics are a Summer Collegiate Baseball team which was formed in 2005 as a founding member of the Erie Shores Collegiate League. The Athletics won the ESCL championship in their inaugural year and earned a place in the National Amatuer Baseball Federation World Series. The Athletics became founding members of the Tri-State Collegiate League the following season, as the ESCL folded after only one season.
The Allegheny Athletics are like every other summer college baseball team, in that they are dedicated and designed to provide minor league level competition for NCAA players that wish to continue on into professional baseball. The Athletics operate in the model of an Independent Minor League team: recruiting athletes, playing nightly before fans in stadiums which seat thousands, using wood bats and minor league specification equipment and experiencing road trips between games. Like all other summer collegiate players, the Allegheny Athletics are unpaid in order to maintain their NCAA eligibility and live with host families in the same manner as Single A and Independent League players.
