The Fort Myers Sun Sox were one of the eight original franchises that began play in the Senior Professional Baseball Association in 1989.

The Sun Sox finished their inaugural season in second place in the Southern Division with a 37-35 record. Their offense was led by the league's top hitter, Tim Ireland, who hit .374, and the circuit's stolen base leader, Kim Allen, who had 33 steals. Amos Otis added 11 homers.

Unfortunately, the Sun Sox were eliminated by the Bradenton Explorers in the playoffs.

The following season, ownership squabbles in Fort Myers caused the Sun Sox to fold and the league to cease operations less than halfway through its second season.
