In 1994, the Manatees won the East Division title, but lost the Florida State League championship series to the
Tampa Yankees in four games. They won the East Division again in 2001, but due to the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks the league championship series was canceled and the Manatees and the West Division champion, the Tampa Yankees, were declared co-champions. In 2007, the Manatees won the North Division title but lost in the league championship series to the
Clearwater Threshers in four games. On August 12, 2009, the Manatees recorded the 1,000th win in franchise history with an 8–2 win over the
Dunedin Blue Jays. The Manatees were affiliated with the
Florida Marlins from 1994 to 2001 and with the
Montreal Expos from 2002 through 2004. From 2005 through 2016, they were an affiliate of the
Milwaukee Brewers. The Manatees played their last game on September 4, 2016, losing to the
Daytona Tortugas 6–4 before a crowd of 1,573 at Space Coast Stadium. After the 2016 season, the team relocated to
Kissimmee, Florida, to play its home games at
Osceola County Stadium. The name of the team changed to the
Florida Fire Frogs and its affiliation switched from the Brewers to the
