The Girard Sailors were a short-lived minor league baseball team that existed briefly in 1908. The team represented Girard, Ohio as a member of the Ohio–Pennsylvania League. After posting an 0–9 record, the team moved to Butler, Pennsylvania, on May 19, 1908, to become that city's unnamed team. Less than a month later, on June 15, 1908, the club moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, to become the second incarnation of the Erie Sailors.
