The Waves were members of the South Atlantic League and a farm team of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

South Georgia's mascot was a blue creature named "Crash", who was brought over when the franchise moved from Wilmington.

Also, Crash’s favorite things were baseball, the beach, dancing, playing with water guns, and his park buddy, the Wilmington Waves’ head groundskeeper.

This was due in part because of disputes between the team owner David Heller[1] and the city of Albany in regard to a baseball stadium deal.

[citation needed] Originally, the team was going to be bought by both Cal Ripken Jr. and Don Mattingly, where the two would move the franchise north to Evansville, Indiana, prior to the 2004 season.
