*The
Braves started playing in Rochester on November 1, 1936. Their opening
game was delayed 40 minutes at halftime when members of the Braves
demanded back pay. The game was finished, but management folded the team
after the game.
**The
first game as the Rochester Tigers was against the Rochester Doyles, a
semi-pro team.
