The Daytona Cubs were a long-time Florida State League farm team of the Chicago Cubs, playing 22 seasons between 1993 and 2014. The club was notable for its dominant postseason performances, capturing 10 straight playoff series and six Florida State League titles over a 20-year period between 1993 and 2013.
