From BR Bullpen
Auburn is located at the northern tip of Owasco Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, 20 miles southwest of Syracuse, NY.
In late 1901, Auburn was chosen as the site of the first office of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL), which is now known simply as Minor League Baseball. The office moved to Durham, NC in 1931 and is now located in St. Petersburg, FL.
