Director and screenwriter Ron Shelton's 1988 film Bull Durham, starring Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, depicted a fictionalized account of the Durham Bulls, at that time a Carolina League team. Before he began making films, Shelton had a five-year minor league career in the Baltimore Orioles' organization, which included a stint in the Carolina League. On August 22, 2016, it was announced that the Carolina League would add two expansion teams for the 2017 season to fill two vacant spots at the High-A level occupied by the California League's Bakersfield Blaze and High Desert Mavericks franchises, which ceased operations at the end of the 2016 season; the Down East Wood Ducks play in North Carolina, as an affiliate of the Texas Rangers. The Buies Creek Astros played in Buies Creek, North Carolina, in 2017 and 2018, moved in 2019 to their new permanent home in nearby Fayetteville, rebranding as the Fayetteville Woodpeckers; the most recent change to the team's roster came in the 2019–20 offseason, with the Potomac Nationals relocating within Northern Virginia to Fredericksburg and rebranding themselves as the Fredericksburg Nationals.
