History
The Pen Argyl team was formed and began play in the 1907 Blue Mountain League. The league was an Independent four team league. The other charter teams were the teams from Bangor, Pennsylvania, Nazareth, Pennsylvania and Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The final 1907 Blue Mountain League team records and standings are unknown.[1][2]
The State Belt and Hay lines provided free transportation for the league teams to travel to away games.[3]
Pen Argyl's record and statistics are unknown. A printed postcard of the 1907 Nazareth team identifies them as the "pennant winners" of the Blue Mountain League.[4][5]
The Blue Mountain League permanently folded after the 1907 season and Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania has not hosted another minor league team.
