The Clippers were the first in the Lower Cape league to play home games at night, as lights were installed at Baker Field in 1949, and the field also boasted an electronic scoreboard. The Lower Cape teams held their annual All-Star Game under the Baker lights in 1949, the Dennis diamond being considered one of the finest in the Cape League at the time. Skipper Bren Taylor's Clippers reached the CCBL title series in 1956, defeating Orleans in the semi-final playoffs, but losing out to Sagamore in the finals. The Clippers teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s featured hard-hitting infielder Jim Cross, an ice hockey star from Boston University, and CCBL Hall of Famer Bill Livesey of the University of Maine. The Clippers withdrew from the league and disbanded after the 1961 season.
