Talk:Portsmouth Red Birds

From BR Bullpen

Doesn't it seem odd that they were the Pirates in 36, the Red Birds in 37, but didn't switch affiliations from the Pirates to Cardinals until 38? --Just me 08:49, 24 May 2006 (EDT)

Also, the manager in 37 and 38 was Benny Borgmann who was in the Cardinals farm chain as a player from 32-42, and manager from 35-50. 37 would have been the only year he wasn't in the Cardinals organization. --Just me 08:53, 24 May 2006 (EDT)
