The Waterbury Timers were a minor league baseball club that played for three seasons and part of a fourth in the small Western Connecticut city from 1947 to 1950. The Timers were founding members of the Colonial League, a Class B loop that included teams from Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. The team’s most notable player was 1949 player-manager Bert Shepard, a one-legged WWII veteran and former POW who became the first amputee to play in a Major League Baseball game with the Washington Senators in August 1945. The Timers and the rest of the Colonial League disbanded midseason in July 1950.
