The Milford Red Sox was the primary moniker a minor league baseball team that played in Milford, Delaware as members of the Eastern Shore League. After Milford first hosted a team in the 1889 Delaware State League, the Eastern Shore team originated as the Milford Sandpipers (1923), followed by the Milford Giants, a Class-D affiliate of the New York Giants in 1938 and remained that way until the league shut down as a result of World War II in 1942. Milford returned to play after the war, in 1946, as a Boston Red Sox affiliate and played until 1948.[1]
