{"product_id":"lewiston-broncs-hoodie-vintage-defunct-baseball-teams-idaho","title":"Lewiston Broncs Hoodie - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - Idaho","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lewiston Broncs, based in Lewiston, Idaho, played 23 straight seasons from 1952 through 1974, the longest unbroken run of any club in this collection. Around home the team was the Lewis-Clark Broncs, and that is the name printed on their programs. Lewiston sits at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater rivers, directly across the water from Clarkston, Washington, and the two towns are named for Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Branding the club to the valley rather than to one city brought in the Washington side of the market, which a town that small needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lewis-Clark name was the local standard, not a one-off. The college across town was Lewis-Clark Normal School and is now Lewis-Clark State College, and the American Legion programs are the Lewis-Clark Twins and Lewis-Clark Cubs. League standings and box scores stayed with Lewiston, because leagues index by city, which is why the record book and the merchandise disagree. Our design follows the programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Broncs won three league championships, in 1961, 1970 and 1972, and passed two future Hall of Famers through Lewiston inside three seasons. Tony La Russa played there in 1964 and Reggie Jackson in 1966, both during the club's long run as a Kansas City Athletics affiliate from 1960 through 1966. La Russa went on to 2,884 major league wins as a manager and Jackson to 563 home runs and the nickname Mr. October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe franchise was owned throughout by Lewiston Baseball Club, Inc., a group of local businessmen who put it together in 1952 rather than waiting for someone else to bring baseball back. The club spent its first three years in the Class A Western International League and moved to the successor circuit when that league reorganized in 1955.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome was Bengal Field, which opened in November 1934 and is owned by the Lewiston School District. The Broncs shared it with Lewiston High School for all 23 seasons, which is unusual for a full-season professional club and says something about how the operation was run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLewiston had fielded professional clubs well before 1952, in the Northern Utah League in 1921, in the Western International League in 1937, and again in 1939 under a name the city has long since left behind. That 1939 franchise moved to Idaho Falls after a single last-place season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRetro Baseball Revival celebrates historic baseball teams with unique apparel, honoring their legacy and bringing history to one-of-a-kind clothing with our old school retro baseball tees from defunct Minor League Baseball teams.
