Gothamite Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'll add my neighborhood Triple-A club to the mix, the Hillsboro Hops:Are they AAA? For some reason I thought they were in a lower class.Yes, typo on my part. As Brian pointed out, Short-season Single A Northwest League.Ah, that makes sense. Losing the Beavers would sting a little less if the suburbs had a replacement AAA club.Still, it's an awesome set. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

andycumbee19 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Im gonna have to get me the Tourists hat, too. I just LOVE their script too so I'd have to find a shirt to go with the hat. Also, I agree with whoever it was on the last page Who said they liked having hats that nobody knows Who it is. I guess that might be one of the reasons my Hagerstown Suns cap from last season is so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This is probably a dumb question, but do all those Tourists hats glow? I would like to add that to my collection via Lids since I get a 25% discount and can get free ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I really dig strange MiLB caps. Something about having a cap that nobody knows about or has. I have some of the ones mentioned already. My absolute favorite is the Asheville Tourists home moon cap. I probably have some more oddball ones in my collection you guys can check out. I also have the Reading Fightins' ostrich cap that I haven't taken a photo of yet. I'm so jealous of that New Hampshire Primaries cap.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

GriffinM6 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This is still my favorite logo set of all time. Plus the colors are amazing too. Reds' AA team Pensacola Blue Wahoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 [defunct since 1996 Albany Polecats. Club was only around for 4 seasons, making it all the more strange.Proud owner of a Polecats fitted hat. Picked it up on eBay for about $20. One of my favorite MiLB clubs as a kid...who had a strange obsession with minor league baseball cards.

Brian in Boston Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The stadium they play in however can easily be AAA! What a beautiful ballpark!Agreed DL. As someone who also lives in the Hillsboro area, I'll confirm that it's AAA-worthy.Amenity-wise, yes. However, stadium capacity would have to be more than doubled in order to reach the Triple-A standard of 10,000. There are just a handful of Triple-A markets where exceptions to the 10,000-seat capacity have been granted - Colorado Springs (8,500), Las Vegas (9,334), Reno (9,100), Round Rock (8,688 fixed seats, but 3,000 additional berm seats available), and Tacoma (9,600). I believe Hillsboro Ballpark's current capacity is 4,500. Just over 3,500 fans can be accommodated in fixed seating, with the balance of capacity being served by berm seating and a standing room-only section.
