Additional Information

The Aurora Foxes were a baseball team established in 1915 to be a part of the newly formed Class D Bi-State League. The league was made up of teams from Illinois and Wisconsin, with the Foxes representing Aurora Illinois. Unfortunately the Bi-State League only lasted part of the season before folding, and the Foxes only played for 52 games before disbanding. The Foxes finished 4th out of the 6 teams in the league.
