Salem Fairies - Massachusetts - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - Long Sleeve T-Shirt baton rouge a lunchboxSalem's Fairies took the field in 1887 as part of the New England League, representing a Massachusetts city already steeped in centuries of history. Minor league baseball in that era bound small towns together in fierce regional pride. Teams like the Fairies gave Salem something beyond its colonial past to rally around, even if only for a brief season. Part of our Defunct Baseball collection, inspired by the vintage Minor League teams of yesteryear.
