The Valdosta Millionaires were a minor league baseball team, based in Valdosta, Georgia from 1913 until 1916. However, the team's roots can be traced back to 1906 as the Valdosta Stars of the Georgia State League. The Millionaires became Valdosta's representative in the Empire State League, when it resumed operations in 1913. The Millionaires claimed first place in the league that season winning the league pennant. In the playoff, the second place Thomasville Hornets defeated Valdosta, four games to two, in the best-of-seven series.
