Who Are We?
The Upper Darby Blue Sox are a summer baseball team based in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, competing in the Delco Semi-Pro League. The Delco League has a rich history, dating back to the early 20th century. The Blue Sox have a strong reputation for developing talented players and competing at a high level.
