“We’re thrilled MLB has realized the importance and significance of the original league names,” said Isotopes General Manager John Traub. The PCL certainly has deep roots in Albuquerque and this is something we can all celebrate.”

Founded in 1903, the Pacific Coast League has been home to some of baseball’s greats: Joe DiMaggio, Tony Gwynn, Willie McCovey and Ted Williams. Notable names to play in Albuquerque include Mike Piazza, Pedro Martinez, Joc Pederson and Trevor Story.
