The Jersey City team moved to Ottawa, Ontario, in 1951 and played in Canada's capital for four seasons. At the close of the 1954 season, the Columbus Red Birds, the longtime American Association affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, moved to Omaha, Nebraska, opening up the valuable Columbus territory. The struggling Ottawa franchise claimed it, and Columbus joined the International League in 1955. This team eventually affiliated with the Pirates and became the Columbus Jets. When the Jets encountered stadium problems after the 1970 campaign, they moved to Charleston, West Virginia as the Charleston Charlies from 1971-76.
