Myrtle Beach Pelicans Tickets

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans are the Class-A Advanced affiliate of the

Chicago Cubs

. The team was previously known as the Durham Bulls, but when the Bulls moved up to the Triple-A International League, a new franchise was created to replace them. The franchise played one season in Danville, Va., as the Danville 97s while a stadium was built for them in Myrtle Beach. The Pelicans' first 11 seasons were spent as an affiliate for the

Atlanta Braves

. In the team's first two seasons, they won the Carolina League championship but only made two playoff appearances over the next 10 seasons. The

Texas Rangers

took over the organization for the 2011 season, and although they would only be the parent organization for four seasons, the Pelicans went on an impressive run of seven straight playoff berths. In the middle of those seven straight postseason trips, 2015 saw the Chicago Cubs take over the Pelicans, who won Carolina League titles in their first two seasons as a Cubs' affiliate.
