===Historical Lancaster teams=== The [[Lancaster Red Roses]] of the Eastern Professional Baseball League are the most well-known of Lancaster's defunct teams. They played from 1906 to 1909, and from 1940 to their last season in 1961. The Red Roses were called the "Lancaster Maroons" from 1896 to 1899 and the "Lancaster Red Sox" in 1932. The "[[Lancaster Red Roses (basketball)|Lancaster Red Roses]]" was also the name of a basketball franchise in the [[Continental Basketball Association]] (at that time, the Eastern Professional Basketball League) from 1946 to 1949, and from 1953 to 1955. The CBA later hosted another Lancaster team called the Lightning from 1981 to 1985. The Lightning later moved to [[Rockford, Illinois]], where they played until the 2007 season. The Storm of the [[Eastern Basketball Alliance]] played from 1997 to 2000, winning the league championship in 1999. The last professional basketball team to call Lancaster home was the Liberty, who played as a member of the now-defunct Global Professional Basketball League in 2009.
