Portland Gulls
The Portland Gulls were a minor league baseball team that played out of Portland, Maine. The Gulls played in the Class B New England League from 1946-1949. The team was originally named the Gulls and rebranded to the Portland Pilots following the 1947 season. The Pilots would win the New England League in 1949. The Gulls/Pilots would be the last pro baseball team in Portland until the Portland Sea Dogs were created in 1994.
Like many early minor league teams, the Gulls existed for only a short time before folding. Despite their short tenure, they are part of the early fabric of Maine's baseball history.
