The New York Collegiate Baseball League (NYCBL) is a 12-team collegiate summer baseball league founded in 1978 and sanctioned by the NACSB and Major League Baseball. Each NYCBL team plays an eight-week, 44-game schedule from June to July with a playoff in early August. Several players from this league have become Major Leaguers.
There are 12 teams separated into two divisions, scheduled to play during the 2011 season. This season runs from June 7 - July 28, followed by the post-season from July 30 - August 3rd. The Oneonta Outlaws are the 2011 champions, after beating the Webster Yankees 5-1 in Game 1 and 5-1 in Game 2 in a best-of-3 series. It was the Outlaws first Championship since coming to Oneonta in 2010. As of September 2011 the Rome Thunderbolts have ceased operations.
