The Girard Sailors were a short-lived minor league baseball team that existed briefly in 1908. The team represented Girard, Ohio as a member of the Ohio–Pennsylvania League.[1]
After losing their first nine games, the team moved to Butler, Pennsylvania, on May 19, 1908. Less than a month later, on June 15, 1908, the club moved again, to Erie, Pennsylvania. They finished the 1908 season as the Erie Sailors, and stayed in Erie for their remaining years in the Ohio-Pennsylvania League.[2]
