Youngstown Puddlers
The Youngstown Puddlers was a Minor League Baseball team based in Youngstown, Ohio, United States. The team was part of the Interstate League.[1] The team existed in the late 19th century.[2] Eventually the team would also be named the Little Giants.[3]
The team's puddler name was derived from a type of iron worker in iron factories and foundries,[4] and Youngstown was especially well known for its iron and steel manufacturing.
