The Twenty-Five Things That Made Genesee County Famous: #9 The Batavia Muckdogs

Genesee County's only professional sports franchise has been getting a lot of publicity lately. The miracle season of 2008 culminated in the team's first championship in 45 years.

Batavia is one of the charter franchises of the New York - Penn League. In fact, the league was founded in Batavia in 1939 at the Hotel Richmond in downtown Batavia.

Batavia has fielded a team every year in the league except for 1954, 1955, 1956 and 1960, and have won four league championships.

Every summer Geneseeans flock to Dwyer Stadium to cheer for the Muckdogs.
