[edit] Discrepancies in History & other areas of this page.

A few things.... Point 1. The White Roses ended their existence in 1967. The York Pirates played in York in 1968 & 1969. The York Pirates folded following the 1969 season. The White Roses Had already closed up shoip and gone two year prior. Point 2. The White Roses had a baseball Hall of Famer play on the team, perhaps you've heard of him, his name is Brooks Robinson. No need to say that they always had poor talent. Point 3. The Lancaster Red Roses and York White Roses were not named after the British "War of the Roses" in fact, York has been called the White Rose City and Lancaster has been called the Red Rose city for well over 200 years. Hanover, another neighbor of York, is called the Black Rose city.

[edit] Logo

Is this the real logo? I have searched, and I have not found evidence that this is the new logo, or that they even have a logo at this point.

[edit] logo

I added this logo from a previous ad for employment on Ballpark Digest. The ad is now gone, but you will see this wordmark when the logos are unveiled.

Someone needs to put up a fair use rational for using this image on this article. This should not be hard, you can use the existing rational for the use of the image on Sovereign Bank Stadium. It should have no problem qualifying as fair use, but a rational is needed for every article. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 16:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discrepencies

I am the person who added this info, as I have also researched and provided sources for it. If you find any legitimate discrepencies, feel free to change it if you can prove what you say. If you cannot prove your knowledge, then don't change it. To my understanding, you are basing your statements on knowledge of living in the area without researching. I am from Lancaster, as I have heard many historical mistakes about the region as well. I understand where your knowledge is from, but please research before making statements. Lancaster and York are in fact named the "____ Rose City" as a reference to the English cities of the same names. I didn't know Hanover had such a name. Even the Lancaster County Prison is modeled after a castle in Lancashire.
