squab squad

"A team to rookies and substitutes. 1ST USE. 1911. 'While on the road with the squab squad he slept for two nights in a Pullman berth with his right arm in the hammock, which he had been told was put there for the particular benefit of the baseball players' (Charles E. Van Loan, The Big League, p. 199; David Shulman)."
