The peak of Corning professional baseball occurred in the mid-1950s, when the Boston Red Sox organization operated a P.O.N.Y. (Pennsylvania-Ontario-New York) League club. Many players came through Corning in those years, with some going on to become Major League stars and others building long minor league careers.

Over the next 60 years, Corning native Don Allison collected memorabilia of the Corning Red Sox, which he remembered watching at War Memorial Stadium as a school boy. Mr. Allison has generously donated objects from his personal collection to the Corning-Painted Post Historical Society and to the Boston Red Sox. Most of the items you see in this exhibit are from his collection. Through it, we hope you may remember or discover the days of Corning At Bat.
