Albany Twilight League

The Albany Twilight League, based in and around Albany, NY, is an amateur baseball league founded in 1930 by George Elwell. Two former Major Leaguers, Matty Fitzgerald and Ed Phelps, along with James Ronin and William Louden were all members of the first league commission. Claude Tibbitts became president of the league in 1931, which is when it began its first competitive season. The league consisted of 10 teams at that time. The Legendary Schuylers, managed by Charlie Callahan, were the first league champions.

Currently, the league president is Bill Miles. Steve Heiser is the vice president.
