Team History

Due to a scheduling mistake, the Toronto Maple Leafs played a double-header on August 27, 1920 against two different clubs. Toronto beat the Jersey City Skeeters 9-4, but lost to the Syracuse Stars 6-4.

Several Maple Leafs clubs are considered among the greatest minor league teams of all time:

• 1902 Maple Leafs
• 1918 Maple Leafs
• 1920 Maple Leafs
• 1926 Maple Leafs
• 1960 Maple Leafs

The name Toronto Maple Leafs is now used by a team in the amateur Intercounty Baseball League.
