Things you maybe didn’t know about our Tacoma Rainiers “Take me out to the Ball Game” I want to hear The Star Spangled Banner echoing through the park, the crack of a bat connecting with a baseball; I want to smell that fresh-cut grass, mustard on hot dogs, those warmed peanuts just out of their shell, and feel the rush of excitement when a ball sails clean out of the stadium. Home run! We have here in the South Sound the Cheney Stadium. The Tacoma Rainiers are right here in our back- yard; meaning we can enjoy a night at the ballpark without having to (gasp) drive to Seattle. Of all our major league-affiliated baseball teams, our Rainiers reside closer to their parent organization (36 miles) than any other team. That wasn’t, however, always the case: Other than a one-season stint between 1904 and 1905 the Pacific Coast League didn’t come here to the South Sound until 1960. Back then the Tacoma team was known as the Tacoma Giants, owned by San Francisco Giants’ owner Horace Stoneham; he controlled the team until the end of the 1965 season, when the Chicago Cubs stepped in Ownership changed hands many times since then and the team played under many monikers: the Tacoma Twins, the Tacoma Tigers, and the Tacoma Tugs (as in the nautical variety). For a very brief time in the late 1970s the team was even affiliated with the New York Yankees. It wasn’t until the 1995 season that “our” team became affiliated with the Seattle Mariners and the Ta- coma Rainiers was born. (The origin of the team name is from the Seattle Rainiers baseball team, a minor league team which existed in the pre-Mariners era under the ownership of the Rainier Brewing Company.) Since that time many of Seattle’s great players have played here in Tacoma, including Alex Rodriguez, Jay Buhner, Raul Ibanez, Felix Hernandez, JJ Putz and even recent Hall of Fame inductee Ken Griffey, Jr. during some rehabilitation assignments. For the past 12 years Cheney Stadium also has been home to Rhubarb the Reindeer, the Rainiers’ delight- fully eccentric baseball-loving mascot. According to the team, no one quite knows the origin of Rhubarb’s name; they only know that he followed the bright lights of a Cheney fireworks display from his home in the wilds of Mount Rainier National Park and has never left the stadium. These days Rhubarb can be found hanging out with his best buddy, Mariner Moose, jamming to his favorite song, “Jump” by Van Halen and chowing down on Cheney Mountain Dogs. Our Cheney Stadium has undergone some changes, too; during the 210-day break between the 2010 and 2011 seasons the stadium, with the use of local materials, now boasts a greater seating capacity, more ADA accessibility, a club and restaurant, a luxury box, and double the number of concession stands. FUN FACT: Nick Lachey, the 1990’s pop star in boy band “98 Degrees”, was once co-owner of the Ta- coma Rainiers. Join us on May 26th for TPCBA’s annual CLE, Social, “Bar” BQ, Game and Fireworks at our Extraordinary Cheney Stadium! .

  • Major League Soccer/Triple-A Baseball Task Force Report and Recommendations Background: Summary of Initial Proposal
    Major League Soccer/Triple-A Baseball Task Force Report and Recommendations March 2009 Background: For the past couple years, Major League Soccer (MLS) has been in an expansion mode. MLS returned to San Jose in 2008. Seattle was awarded the 15th team franchise in early 2008 and will begin play this year. Also in 2008, MLS awarded the 16 th franchise to Chester, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The Chester team will start play in 2010. In the spring of 2008, MLS announced that it intended to take proposals for two additional expansion franchises which would begin play in 2011. Merritt Paulson, the owner of the Portland Timbers and Portland Beavers, approached the City and indicated he wanted to submit a proposal to MLS for one of the available expansion franchises. The franchise fee paid to MLS for an expansion team has increased dramatically during the recent expansion period. The Toronto team began play in 2007 and paid a fee of $10 million. The next year, the San Jose team began play and paid a fee of $20 million. In 2008, Seattle and Chester paid $30 million for their expansion teams. The announced fee for the two franchises to be awarded in 2009 is $40 million. Shortstop LLC is the name of the business entity formed by Mr. Paulson for the operation of the teams. The current Portland Timbers are a First Division team in the United Soccer League. This league shares an affiliation with Major League Soccer (MLS) and with the international soccer governing body FIFA. MLS is the highest level of competitive soccer played in the United States.

  • Dimaggio's Other Streak
    General Admission DiMaggio’s Other Streak by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research In 1933, Joe DiMaggio was an 18-year old rookie playing for his hometown San Francisco Seals in the Class AA Pacific Coast League (PCL). An unknown who had been playing semi-pro ball two years earlier as a newsboy, his name was often misspelled in the press of the day as De Maggio, even after he broke the PCL record for hitting safely in consecutive games set in 1915 by Jack Ness. It wasn’t until Seals owner and PCL vice-president Charley Graham was making arrangements to have DiMaggio’s name engraved on a gold watch presented to him for breaking the record that the question arose. After all, Joe’s older brother Vince, a former Seal who was then playing with the Hollywood Stars, spelled his name DiMaggio. Joe had actually played 3 games at shortstop with the Seals at the end of the 1932 season and had only been invited to spring training in 1933 after his brother Vince argued his case to manager Lefty O’Doul. It worked out well for Joe, who the team signed, but not so well for Vince, who the team released. Luckily for DiMaggio and for the fans in San Francisco, O’Doul moved him from shortstop to right field. DiMaggio was very erratic, always overthrowing the first baseman. His throwing arm was better suited to an outfielder and he was a pretty fair hitter. No one had any idea of what was to come.
