Rochester Red Wings Tickets

The Rochester Red Wings are the oldest continually operating franchise outside of Major League Baseball. The team was initially created in 1899, but 1928 saw them adopt the name Red Wings and join the International League. The Red Wings name was initially chosen as a nod to Rochester's first parent organization, the St. Louis Cardinals, but the name has been kept through multiple affiliations. The Cardinals were the Red Wings' parent organization for their first 32 years before the 1961 season saw the Baltimore Orioles take over the franchise. The team's time under the Orioles' umbrella was as successful as their time with St. Louis. The Red Wings went on to win six International League championships between 1961 and 2002. Before the start of the 2003 season it was announced the team would become the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. The Rochester Red Wings have been at the top of the Twins' farm system for the last 17 seasons. Get your Rochester Red Wings tickets at StubHub.
