WCL’s Marion Berries
SALEM, Ore. — The newest team in the West Coast League, the Marion Berries began home play at Salem’s Chemeketa Field on Monday.
“As a student of baseball’s grand, messy, fascinating history,” said WCL Commissioner Rob Neyer, “I couldn’t be more excited to see our newest team playing at Chemeketa Field, so steeped in regional baseball lore.”
In 1978, the Northwest League’s Salem Senators, then an independent team, first made Chemeketa their home, and that summer hosted Bellingham, Bend, Victoria and Walla Walla, all of which now boast West Coast League teams. In 1981, the Senators became the Angels, in 1982 and ’83 were managed by future World Series-winning Joe Maddon. In 1987, the Salem Angels became the Salem Dodgers, and in 1988, their primary catcher was a 62nd-round draft pick named Mike Piazza. In his first pro season, the future Hall of Famer paced the team with eight home runs in 57 games.
Other notable Chemeketa/Northwest League alumni include All-Star hurlers Chuck Finley and Roberto Hernández, and All-Star sluggers Dante Bichette and Henry Rodríguez.
But in 1990, Salem’s Dodgers moved to Yakima, leaving Chemeketa without top-flight summer baseball for 35 years.
The name is both a popular Oregon fruit and the name of the county Salem is in. The Marion Berries are in the South Division of the WCL. While there are some crossover games between North and South division teams in the ever-expanding league, the Port Angeles Lefties are not playing the Berries this year.
