The Akron Aeros are a minor league baseball team based in Ohio. It is a member of the Eastern League (AA) and an affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. The Aeros play in Canal Park, located in downtown Akron, which seats 9,097 fans. The nickname "Aeros" refers to Ohio's history of aerospace research, including being the home state of the Wright Brothers and astronaut Neil Armstrong.

The team's Eastern League (AA) history began in 1980 as the Lynn (Massachusetts) Sailors (Seattle Mariners) until 1982. In 1983, it became an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1983. The team moved north to Burlington, Vermont and became known as Vermont Reds (1984–1987) of the Cincinnati Reds organization. In 1988, it became the Vermont Mariners (Seattle Mariners) for a year. During its stint in Vermont, the franchise made the playoffs every year, and won three straight Eastern League titles from 1984 to 1986.

In 1989, the team moved to Canton, Ohio and became an affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, playing eight seasons as the Canton-Akron Indians. In 1994, the team moved to Akron, but it took two more years to build its new home, Canal Park. It adopted the "Aeros" nickname in November 1996.
