The Rochester Broncos were a short-lived baseball team in the American Association, playing only one season, in 1890. They finished fifth in the league with a record of 63-63. Their home games were played at Culver Field.
The struggling American Association simply could not afford another season with its Little Three of Rochester, Syracuse, and Toledo. Therefore, team president Henry Brinker-who owned a brewery and a railroad-decided to accept a share of a $24,000 buyout to leave the AA.
In 1891, the Broncos played in the Eastern Association as the Rochester Hop Bitters.
