The New Haven County Cutters are a Can-Am League team based in West Haven, Connecticut. Since the 2005 season, they have played in the Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball, which is not affilitated with Major League Baseball.
Prior to the 2004 season, the Cutters played their games in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and were called the Berkshire Black Bears. The team's home was Wahconah Park.
In their two seasons in New Haven, the Cutters have had varying degrees of success. Their first season saw them leading the Northeast League South Division for most of the first half of their season, but the team severely faltered down the stretch of the first half and ended up losing the division to the eventual league champion New Jersey Jackals in a one-game playoff at Yale Field. The bad streak continued, and the Cutters fell to last place in the division in the second half and cost first-year manager Jarvis Brown, a former Minnesota Twins prospect, his job.
In 2005, The Cutters' fortunes started out badly in the first half with an 18-28 record. However, in the second half, they had a complete reversal of fortune and won their first half-season division championship, with a 28-18 record, and qualified for the Can-Am League playoffs. However, the Cutters' luck ran out in the first round of the playoffs, as they were eliminated 3 games to 1 by the eventual league champion Worcester Tornadoes.
