Adirondack Swamp Donkeys — 2026-27 Season

About the Swamp

Representing the Adirondacks. The Swamp. Our Home.

The Adirondack Swamp Donkeys are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth travel baseball club based in South Glens Falls, New York — inspired by the culture, landscape, and grit of the Adirondacks. From the swamps to the summits, this is where we play. This is who we are.

Established in 2025, we develop young baseball talent while building character, teamwork, and a love of the game. We compete in the Eastern New York Travel Baseball League (ENYTB) along with regional tournaments throughout the season.

Mascot of the Herd

Meet Swampy

Swampy, the inflatable donkey mascot, grinning outside the ballpark — Swampy on tour at the Cal Ripken Experience — Aberdeen, MD

Part donkey, part legend, all swamp. Swampy is the heartbeat of Donkey Nation — flexing on dugouts, hyping the herd, and reminding every kid that baseball is supposed to be fun. If you hear a heehaw echo across the diamond, the Swamp Donkeys are in town.
