The Poughkeepsie Chiefs were a Class B minor league baseball team that played in the Colonial League from 1947 until the league’s demise in 1950. In 1947, the franchise was known as the Poughkeepsie Giants. The Colonial League included teams from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. In 1950, the Chiefs stood atop the Colonial League (43-26) when the financially ailing loop folded in mid-season on July 15th.
