york joined the tri-state league as the york penn parks in 1904. the name was quickly changed back to white roses for the 1905 season. the 1906 season was full of controversy when the rival lancaster maroons changed their name to the red roses. george heckert, white roses manager, publicly denounced lancaster's team and predicted that lancaster would end the season in last place after it unveiled new jerseys and a new name days before the season opener against york. yorkers viewed the change as a copycat maneuver since york had called itself the white roses since 1884. the red roses went on to win the first game, 9–4, and an even heavier rivalry began. some sources indicate that the rival teams were named for the opposing factions in england's wars of the roses.
