Pioneer Park served a different type of role for Minor League Baseball. It was never
the star, but it did serve as a short term home for almost a decade of Minor
League and independent minor baseball, including a farm club for the New York
Mets. It was also a secondary home to the new Western Baseball League as the Gray's
Harbor Gulls became one of the inaugural teams of the new WBL, and remained
that way for 3 1/2 years. For more information on the actual players and the
teams that utilized this ballpark, check Hoquiam's Olympic Stadium gallery which
goes into the full detail of every team that played in this ballpark. Thanks
to Gord Brown for his research in discovering this ballpark. |
