Biddeford Orphans

The Biddeford Orphans were a minor league baseball team that played in the independent Maine State League during the 1907 and 1908 seasons. The Orphans were named as such due to the Sisters of Mercy Orphanage in the city at that time. They played their games at St. Louis Field, which still exists as a public park today. Like many early minor league teams, the Orphans existed for only a single season before folding. Despite their short tenure, they are part of the early fabric of Maine's baseball history.
