1948-49 Saratoga Indians (NYSL)

1948-49 SARATOGA INDIANS
NEW YORK STATE PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE
Eastern Division
Finished: 5-25 .167 (7-25 .219*), 6th place


After a 26-10 record the season before, the Indians totally reversed their fortunes, finishing 7-25 (two of those wins were by forfeit) and buried in last place. The Indians of this season bore very little similarity to the previous season, and the untried revolving door of players yielded only poor results.

 * Two forfeit wins, one from Schenectady and one from Utica.
