The Ossining Oxen were a minor league baseball team who played only the 1968 season. The team played at Larson Field, later renamed to Veterans Memorial Park. Despite having future Major Leaguer Bill Madlock, the team failed to succeed, causing an horrendous 34-106 record. The team was scrapped after the 1968 season, and was forced to sell its players. The Manager of the Oxen, Pierre Augustus said “We we’re better off dead.” citation needed Ironically, it was Augustus himself who had been fired and rehired 5 times over the course of the season. Ossining has yet to have another minor league team since.
