Savannah Senators
July 14, 2014
Pro baseball returned to Savannah, Georgia in the spring of 1968 after a six-year absence. The new club was the Savannah Senators, Class AA affiliate of the American League’s Washington Senators. The Sens muddled through a pair of losing Southern League seasons at Grayson Stadium in 1968 and 1969. Savannah’s Major League affiliation changed hands after the 1969 season, shifting from Washington to the Cleveland Indians. The franchise played as the Savannah Indians in 1970 before shifting again in 1971 to become the Savannah Braves.

The Savannah Braves were the Class AA farm club of the Atlanta Braves for 13 seasons from 1971 to 1983. Several notable Braves prospects made stops at Savannah’s Grayson Stadium on their way to the Majors, highlighted by future National League Most Valuable Player Dale Murphy and 1987 N.L. Cy Young Award Winner Steve Bedrosian. The Braves moved to Greenville, South Carolina following the 1983 season.
