The Canton–Akron Indians are a defunct Minor League Baseball team. They played in the Eastern League at Thurman Munson Memorial Stadium in Canton, Ohio from 1989 to 1996. They were affiliated with the Cleveland Indians.
History Prior to their eight-year stint as the Canton–Akron Indians, this franchise was known as the Lynn Sailors (from 1980 to 1983 serving as the Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners and Pittsburgh Pirates), Vermont Reds (from 1984 to 1987 serving as the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds), and Vermont Mariners (in 1988 serving as the Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners).
After the stint as the Canton–Akron Indians, the franchise moved to nearby Akron, Ohio and became the Akron Aeros.
