St. Petersburg Saints

The St. Petersburg Saints were a minor league baseball team that operated out of St.Petersburg, Florida. The team played in the Florida State League from 1920-1928 and then folded operations. A second team, also called the St.Petersburg Saints played in the Florida International League from 1947-1954 and the Florida State League from 1955-1965. The team won four championships in those days. They were affiliated with the Cleveland Indians in 1949, New York Yankees from 1956-1961 and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1962-1965.

The team name was changed to the St. Petersburg Cardinals upon their signing an affiliation deal with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1966. They continued as the Cards through 1996, winning four more championships.

The team was renamed once more in 1997 as the St. Petersburg Devil Rays (an affiliation deal with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays) and remained operation until folding for good after the 2000 season.

The St. Petersburg Saints were owned R. Vernon and Irene C. Eckert from 1951-1954.
