Syracuse Chiefs Set for Indoor Training in March Weather
The Syracuse Chiefs of the International League plan spring drills indoors for late March and early April at McCurdy Field amid mild historical temps. Chiefs business manager Leo Miller notes weather here stays steadier than New England or New Jersey, with occasional 80 degree days. Since 1936 several teams have used Frederick and nearby towns for pre season baseball, including Wilkes-Barre Barons in 1936 and Hazelton, Bradford, Hornell, and Oil City in subsequent years.
