Advanced Class-A Affiliate team of the Oakland Athletics. The Stockton Ports enter into their 61st season in 2010, with a 4,400-3,952 overall record, 11 league titles, and their own unique lore and traditions tying them into Minor League Baseball and Californian history. Baseball lore also credits a baseball team based in Stockton, C.A. with being the inspiration for Ernest Lawrence Thayer's famous "Casey at the Bat" poem. Thayer wrote the fictional poem in 1888, as legend goes, after seeing the Stockton club perform. At that time, Stockton played at Banner Island Park near a riverfront area called Mudville. In 2000 and 2001, the Ports had been renamed the Mudville Nine. Since joining the California League in 1941, the Ports remained with the League until 1972, and returned in 1978. During the 1980s and into the '90s, the Ports were one of the nation's winningest Minor League Baseball teams, totaling 977 wins through the 1991 season. The Ports also had the best win-loss percentage in all of Minor League Baseball for the 1980s. San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) will be running its Downtown Trolley Loop (Route 19) from downtown parking lots to the Banner Island Ballpark before, during, and after all Ports home games. Regular one-way trolley fare is 25 cents per person.
The Stockton Ports are proud to announce that the Stockton Downtown Marina is now open and that fans for the first time take their boat to the game! Fans can take advantage of the public dock on the North Shore behind the ballpark all season long! There are two guest docks which include a combined 878 linear feet of dock for boats on the North Shore! For all 70 Ports home games, the Stockton Downtown Marina will be accessible for boaters to dock for the game, or overnight.
