Re: Oldest franchise

Newark/Orange Tornadoes date back to 1887 (they actually operated for over fifty years). Do any of you notice anything that this video may have gotten wrong? If everything in this video is correct the Newark/Orange Tornadoes very well may have been one of the very first professional teams put toget...

Re: Oldest franchise
