Pine Tree Capers

The Pine Tree Capers were a minor league baseball team that played out of Portland, Maine. The Capers played in the Maine State League during the 1907 and 1908 seasons. They were joined in the league by fellow Portlandites, the Portland Blue Sox. The Capers name is more a poetic one, meaning they are cheeky and up to something on the field, so we tried to make our mascot embody that spirit. Like many early minor league teams, the Capers existed for only a single season before folding. Despite their short tenure, they are part of the early fabric of Maine's baseball history.
