Rochester Bronchos

Not to be confused with Rochester Broncos.

The Rochester Bronchos were a minor league baseball team based in Rochester, New York, from 1899 to 1911.[1]

In the inaugural 1899 season, despite having been a last-place team the previous year, the Bronchos won the Eastern League title. The team declined after that promising start, particularly in the 1904 season, when its record was 28-105. In 1909, the Bronchos again managed to go from last to first, improving from 55-82 to 90-61. They won the pennant the next two years as well, with 92-61 and 98-54 seasons. By 1912, however, the team was renamed the Rochester Hustlers.[1]
