Catskill Cougars

The Catskill Cougars were a minor-league baseball team based in Mountaindale, New York, in the state's Catskill Mountains region. The Cougars played in the North Atlantic League in 1996 and the Northeast League (later known as the Can-Am League), from 1997–1998, and in the Northern League in 2000. The North Atlantic and Northeast leagues were independent leagues that were not affiliated with Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball. Following the departure of the Northeast League's Sullivan Mountain Lions after one season in Mountaindale, the Cougars played their home games at Baxter Stadium, and were part-owned by comedian Bill Murray.
