Baseball Legacy

Amerige Park served as the spring training grounds for the Pacific Coast League in baseball's early years for teams such as the Hollywood Stars (1935–36; now known as the San Diego Padres), Portland Rainiers (1937–40), Sacramento Solons (1941–42; 1944), the Los Angeles Angels (1946-55; no relation to the Anaheim Angels) and the Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers (the 1960s as an L.A. Angels affiliate). Also, hall of famers Joe DiMaggio, Walter Johnson, and Satchel Paige are known to have played on the field. Amerige park will be the new home of the Hope International University Royals (NAIA college located in Fullerton) In just their second year of existence HIU made the NAIA World Series in 2017.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Pro baseball resurrection?

The park was being eyed for possible remodeling and expansion to accommodate a proposed move by the Fullerton Flyers professional baseball team. They played at Cal State Fullerton's Goodwin Field from 2005 to 2010 and had started talking about a move to the Amerige Park facilities.^[5] Rumors had circulated that if the Flyers are not accommodated by the city, they will relocate to another city.^[6]^[7] On January 14, 2011, it was announced that the city of Fullerton and the Flyers have indeed entered into an exclusive negotiating period to discuss plans for the Amerige Park location while they sit out the 2011 season.^[8] As of press date, the plans had yet to materialize as the team changed leagues and ownership several times. They are currently owned by Western Sports & Entertainment and could restart negotiations at a future time.
