The Year is 1903 and Curtis “Captain” Weigand is leading York’s Penn Park ballclub until he is plucked away and held to his contract he had signed earlier that year with the Baltimore Eastern League Club nicknamed the Orioles. Meanwhile, Baltimore had high expectations going into the season and is looking for anyone to help them climb up the standings.
