Comments: Back in the post-World War II era, St. Stephen was no ordinary baseball town. They didn't settle for just one outstanding ball team; they birthed a dynasty. The St. Croix Baseball Club emerged as a force to be reckoned with from 1957 to 1960, etching their name into the annals of New Brunswick sports history. After the team clinched the Maritime Championship in 1957 and 1958, in 1959 the St. Croix team maintained their winning streak, securing the Border League Championship, provincial quarter-finals, and the Maritime Championship.
