Columbus produced a number of great players, including Hall of Famers Enos Slaughter and Billy Southworth. Slaughter (who batted .382 for the 1937 Redbirds with 245 hits) and won Association titles in 1933, 1934, 1937, 1941–43 and 1950. Southworth managed the 1932 Red Birds. In the early 50’s a series of losing teams and the encroachment of television, depressed the Red Birds attendance and the club moved to Omaha, Nebraska for the 1955 season and was re-christened the Omaha Cardinals.
