North Carolina’s Burlington Rangers were a One-Year Wonder in Minor League Baseball’s Carolina League during the summer of 1972. The team was a Class A farm club of the Texas Rangers, who were playing their debut season in Major League Baseball that summer after relocating from Washington D.C. in late 1971.
The Alamance Senators were a Class A farm club of the American League’s Washington Senators based in Burlington, North Carolina during the late 1960’s. Today, the team is referred to on Baseball Reference and Wikipedia as the “Burlington Senators”, but at the time the team was known locally as “Alamance”, after the North Carolina county in which Burlington sits.
