The Macon Redbirds were a Minor League Baseball team based in Macon, Georgia from 1980 to 1983. They were a member of the Class A South Atlantic League. From 1980 to 1982, they were known as the Macon Peaches. The team played their home games at Luther Williams Field for all four years of their existence.
The team began play in 1980 as a South Atlantic League expansion team. After the 1983 season, they relocated to Savannah, Georgia, where they were known as the Savannah Cardinals.
The Western Carolinas League placed expansion teams in Charleston, South Carolina, and Macon, Georgia, after the 1979 season. With the league expanding outside of its geographical moniker, it renamed itself to the South Atlantic League. Macon's team was named the Macon Peaches, in keeping with the Macon Peaches which had played for many years in the old South Atlantic League.
After the 1982 season, the team became affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals and changed its name to the Macon Redbirds.
The Redbirds moved to Savannah, Georgia after the 1983 season, becoming the Savannah Cardinals. Macon would not go without baseball, however, as the Greenwood Pirates promptly moved in, becoming the Macon Pirates.
