The Red Wings moniker dates to 1928, when the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League purchased the franchise and constructed Red Wing Stadium (later renamed to Silver Stadium) on Norton Street.
The franchise averted disaster in 1956 when Morrie Silver led a community stock drive to purchase the club from the Cardinals, who intended to drop the franchise from their player development system. The affiliation between the clubs actually lasted until the start of the 1961 season when the Wings hooked up with the Baltimore Orioles, a relationship that lasted a remarkable 42 seasons until Rochester signed a player development agreement with the Minnesota Twins A number of noteworthy players and managers — including Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, Don Baylor, Boog Powell, Earl Weaver, Jim Palmer, Cal Ripken Jr. and Eddie Murray — came through Rochester en route to distinguished major-league careers.
The Red Wings enjoyed substantial national attention in 1981 for playing a 33-inning game against the Pawtucket Red Sox in Rhode Island. The Red Wings moved from Silver Stadium to Frontier Field in 1997. Current The Red Wings are the AAA affiliate of The Minnesota Twins. They play in the International League's North Division.
