The Richmond Flying Squirrels are a Minor League Baseball team based in Richmond, Virginia . The team, which is a part of the Eastern League , is the Double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants major league club, and plays at The Diamond . The Flying Squirrels have been affiliated with the Giants since 2010, making it the longest-running active affiliation in the Giants organization among teams not owned by the Giants.[1] Connecticut Defenders .
The Flying Squirrels mark affiliated baseball's return to Richmond after a one-year absence prompted by the relocation of the former Triple-A International League 's Richmond Braves to Lawrenceville, Georgia in 2009, where they are now called the Gwinnett Stripers .
History
[ edit ]
On September 23, 2009, it was announced that the Connecticut Defenders would leave Norwich for their current home at The Diamond in Richmond, Virginia , where they will continue seeking proposals for a new ballpark in the Richmond metropolitan area. The team name was changed to the "Flying Squirrels".[2]
The name the Richmond Flying Squirrels was chosen through a Richmond Times-Dispatch [2]
In conjunction with Major League Baseball 's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the Flying Squirrels were organized into the Double-A Northeast .[3] [4]
Logo
[ edit ]
The new Flying Squirrels logo was unveiled on December 1, 2009.[5] Brandiose . It was named the logo of the year by Ballpark Digest in 2010[6] [7]
