The team became a St. Louis Cardinals farm club in 1957, taking the name Red Birds, a nod to the parent club's own nickname without using it outright. The Red Birds played four seasons in the Carolina League, from 1957 through 1960, calling Ernie Shore Field home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1958 club went 69-68 under manager Vern Benson and drew over 90,000 fans to Ernie Shore Field. Pitcher Von McDaniel, who as an eighteen-year-old had thrown a shutout in his major league debut for the Cardinals in 1957, spent time with Winston-Salem before a sore arm cut his career short. Outfielder Jim Hickman, another Red Birds alumnus, went on to make the National League All-Star team in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe franchise dropped the Cardinals affiliation and the Red Birds name in 1961, becoming the Winston-Salem Red Sox for the next 22 years. A young Wade Boggs played there in 1977 on his way to a Hall of Fame career, sixteen years after the Red Birds era ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRetro Baseball Revival celebrates historic baseball teams with unique apparel, honoring their legacy and bringing history to one-of-a-kind clothing with our old school retro baseball tees from defunct Minor League Baseball teams.
