      History


      Minor league baseball began in Hudson, New York in 1896, when the "Hudson" team played as members of the independent, non–classified, eight–team Hudson River League. League records and standings are unknown.
      In 1903, the Hudson "Marines" became members of the reformed Class D level Hudson River League. The Kingston Colonials, Newburgh Taylor-mades, Ossining, Peekskill, Poughkeepsie Colts and Saugerties, New York teams joined Hudson in league play.
      In their first season of play, the 1903 Hudson Marines placed second in the Hudson River League final standings. Hudson ended the season with a record of 63–33 as Augie Schnack served as manager, beginning a five-year tenure as the manager of the Hudson Marines. The Marines finished 1.5 games behind the first place Kingston Colonials in the standings. The Hudson River League did not hold playoffs for the duration of the Hudson Marines' tenure in the league.
      The 1904 Hudson Marines placed third as the six–team Hudson River League, which was elevated to a Class C level league. After beginning league play on May 11, 1905, the Marines compiled a final record of 68–52 under returning manager Augie Schnack. The Marines finished 3.5 games behind the first place Poughkeepsie Colts in the final league standings.
      The Hudson Marines won the 1905 Hudson River League championship. With a record of 68–50, the Hudson Marines placed first in the Hudson River League final standings, winning the championship under the direction of managers Augie Schnack and David Patterson. The Marines finished 1.5 games ahead of the Paterson Invaders in the final standings of the eight–team league.
      The Hudson Marines continued play in the 1906 Hudson River League. With a record of 54–56, the Hudson Marines placed fourth in the eight–team league, led again by manager Augie Schnack. On September 9, 1906, Hudson was 9.5 games behind the first place Paterson Invaders when the Hudson River League ceased play for the season.
      The Class C level Hudson River League resumed play to begin the 1907 season, but folded during their final season. On June 18, 1907, the Hudson Marines were in third place when the six–team Hudson River League permanently folded. The Hudson River league was down to four remaining teams, after having the Kingston and Paterson franchises fold in early June. The Hudson Marines were again managed by Augie Schnack and had a 12–12 record when the league folded. The Hudson Marines finished 1.5 games behind the 1st place Poughkeepsie Colts as the league folded.
      Hudson, New York has not hosted another minor league team.
