History

They club through a number of affiliations and names during their existence. The team was originally an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate, known as the Valdosta Trojans. In {{baseball year|1941}}, the team became an affiliate for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team folded in {{baseball year|1942}}, however after World War II ended, Valdosta received another team in the Georgia–Florida League, the Valdosta Dodgers, which was once again affiliated with the Brooklyn Dodgers.[1]

However, the St. Louis Browns took over the Valdosta team, which was then renamed the Valdosta Browns.
