The Defenders, originally named the Norwich Navigators, began playing in 1995 as an affiliate of the New York Yankees. Despite being a relatively small market team, the Navigators quickly established themselves as a contender by winning the Eastern League championship in 1998 and 2002. In 2003, the team became an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants and rebranded itself as the Connecticut Defenders.
With an updated name and major league backing, the Defenders continued to perform well on the field. In 2006, the team had its best season yet, finishing with a record of 83-59 and making it to the Eastern League Championship Series. However, they lost the series to the Portland Sea Dogs.
Off the field, the Defenders were popular among Minor League Baseball fans in Connecticut. The team played at Dodd Stadium, which was known for its scenic views and family-friendly atmosphere. The stadium itself was located in a wooded area and had a unique air-conditioned section called "The Den" that offered fans a break from the summer heat.
Sadly, despite their successes, the Defenders were not able to remain in Norwich due to financial issues. After several years of declining attendance, the team announced in late 2009 that they would be moving to Richmond, Virginia. The move was met with disappointment by many fans who had grown attached to their local team.
Although the Connecticut Defenders are no longer part of Minor League Baseball, their legacy still lives on. The team's success on the field and loyal fan base made them an important part of the Eastern League and a beloved part of Connecticut's sporting history. Dodd Stadium continues to host baseball games, now as the home of the Connecticut Tigers, another Minor League Baseball team in the Detroit Tigers' farm system.
