The Boston Red Sox moved their AA-affiliate franchise to Bristol, Ct, the team was known as the Bristol Red Sox. The team played at Muzzy Field from 1973 - 1982. Prior to the 1983 season the team moved to New Britain. The team played at Beehive Field.
As Beehive Field became outdated, the team faced the decision to build a new stadium or move the franchise. In 1994, the owners of the team decided to keep the franchise in New Britain, but the Red Sox pulled their affiliation and teamed with the Trenton Thunder.
The New Britain team would change their name to the Hardware City Rock Cats and the team would play the 1995 season in Beehive Field. The team would move into New Britain Stadium in 1996. The team was affiliated with the Minnesota Twins.
