'Tampa Tarpons Tickets'

'The Tampa Tarpons are the Class-A Advanced affiliate for the New York Yankees. While the Tarpons' history with the Yankees dates back to the mid-1990s, the organization boasts one of the longest and brightest histories of any Minor League organization. The Tarpons really cemented their legacy during a 27-season tenure as an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. The first season under the Reds' umbrella was the team's finest, as they not only won the Florida State League title but went 90-44. In 1988, however, the Reds moved the team to Greensboro, N.C., and Tampa was without a team until 1994. It was the New York Yankees that brought Minor League Baseball back to Tampa in 1994, winning the city's first championship since those 1961 Reds. After four more league titles in the next 14 seasons, it was announced that the Yankees were bringing back the name Tarpons, which the team has gone under since 2018.
