1938-1963

During these years, the Erie Sailors played in the Middle Atlantic League from 1938-1939, 1941-1942, and 1946-1951; the PONY League from 1944-1945 and 1954-1956; and the PONY's successor New York - Penn League from 1957-1963. Several times during this period, the team was also called the Senators, after its major league affiliate, the Washington Senators. The Sailors won league championships in 1951 and 1957.

From 1948 onward, this team (and all subsequent Sailors) played at Ainsworth Field.
