New Orleans Baby Cakes (Baseball team)

Biography"The New Orleans Baby Cakes (formerly the New Orleans Zephyrs) were a Minor League Baseball team in the Pacific Coast League (PCL) and the Triple-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins. They were located in Metairie, Louisiana and played their home games at the Shrine on Airline. The team began play in 1993 as a member of the Triple-A American Association (AA) when the Denver Zephyrs relocated to Metairie. They joined the PCL in 1998. New Orleans has qualified for the postseason on three occasions and has won the PCL championship twice as the Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros (1998 and 2001). At the end of the 2019 season, the team relocated to Wichita, Kansas, where they continue as the Wichita Wind Surge.[1] Initially, the city of New Orleans hoped to bring a Double-A Southern League team to the city and continue operations as the Baby Cakes.[2] However, due to Major League Baseball's reorganization of Minor League Baseball, the league ceased operations in 2021 and the campaign ultimately failed.[3]"--Wikipedia, 2021
