The Belfast Pastimes played only one season as a minor league baseball team. They played the 1897 season in the Maine State League, before the league folded at the end of the season. But they held an important piece of baseball history! According to the Belfast Historical Society the terms "at bat" "on deck" and "in the hold/hole" were coined at Pastimes games that summer. These were nautical terms used during the baseball game, and the terms caught on with the opposing team, the Boston Red Stockings, and the rest is history. Like many early minor league teams, the Pastimes existed for only a single season before folding. Despite their short tenure, they are part of the early fabric of Maine's baseball history.
