The '''Pensacola Pelicans''' are a minor league baseball team in the [[Wikipedia:American Association of Independent Professional Baseball|American Association]]. The team plays its home games at [[Pelican Park]]. The team is scheduled to move to [[Community Maritime Park]] in 2009.
The Pensacola Pelicans were incorporated in [[2001]], when the Southeastern League decided to place a team in the Pensacola area. Midway through the [[2002]] season, [[Quint Studer|Quint]] and [[Rishy Studer]] bought the team from the league. The 2002 season was a very successful one for the Pelicans; they had the league's best record and won the championship in an extra-innings victory against the Montgomery Wings. The 2003 season was also successful, with the Pelicans once again claiming the league's best record, but losing to the Baton Rouge Riverbats in the championship series.
Before the [[2004]] season, the Orlando Rays of the Southern League moved to Montgomery, Alabama, the location of a key Southeastern League franchise. Unable to compete with an affiliated baseball club in one of its key cities, the Southeastern League folded, and the Pelicans were left without a league in which to play.
In order to join the Central Baseball League for the 2004 season, Pelicans owner Quint Studer purchased the rights to the Springfield Ozark Mountain Ducks franchise, and the Pelicans took that team's spot in the league.
The Pelicans joined the American Association after the 2005 season.
