Eugene Emeralds

Founded {{Time ago|1955}} in 1955 as a charter member of the Northwest League, the Emeralds were named in a contest, won in January by 11-year-old Bowen Blair.{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=m_lVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=p-IDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6685%2C3079701 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |location=(Oregon) |title=Eugene Emeralds |date=January 24, 1955 |page=2B}} They won the inaugural pennant as an independent,{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=uA5WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=auIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4392%2C2041974 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |last=Strite |first=Dick |title=Championship club could set new pattern in minor leagues |date=September 13, 1955 |page=1A }}{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=uA5WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=auIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6830%2C2140987 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |last=Strite |first=Dick |title=Emeralds claim Northwest crown |date=September 13, 1955 |page=2B }}{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=HfpVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UuIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4068%2C4925923 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |last=Rodman |first=Bob |title=29 years of minor league baseball |date=June 17, 1981 |page=1E}} and remained in the NWL for fourteen seasons, through 1968. The Emeralds were the first minor-league team to play in Eugene since the disbanding of the Eugene Larks, who played at Bethel Park for just two seasons, 1950 and 1951.{{Cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/news/gcs-10891|title=About Eugene Emeralds|website=Eugene Emeralds|language=en|access-date=2018-07-19}}

Its final game in 1968 on August 29 drew 897 fans for a one-hitter and a 7-0 Emeralds win.{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bahVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6OADAAAAIBAJ&pg=6824%2C6654228 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |location=Oregon|last=Harvey |first=Paul III |title=Ballinger 1-hits Giants in 7-0 Emerald win |date=August 30, 1968 |page=3B}} The NWL changed to a short season league in 1966, and that season opened in Eugene against the Lewiston Broncs.

In the 1969 season, the Emeralds were promoted to AAA status in the Pacific Coast League (PCL) as the primary affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Ems returned to the Northwest League five years later when the PCL moved the AAA team to Sacramento for the 1974 season,{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=kKtVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=A-EDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4689%2C768602 |work=Eugene Register-Guard |location=(Oregon)|title=PCL owners approve shift to Sacramento |date=December 3, 1973 |page=3B}} while the Phillies moved their AAA farm team to the Toledo Mud Hens of the International League.

Entering Triple-A in 1969, the Emeralds moved from Bethel Park to Civic Stadium. The 6,800-seat facility was owned by the Eugene School District and was built in 1938 as a venue for high school football, which was played there until 1968. Civic Stadium also hosted semi-pro baseball teams, sponsored by local timber companies, until Bethel Park was built in 1950. Facing an outdated stadium and high-maintenance costs,{{Cite web|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2009/06/eugene_emeralds_say_hello_and.html|title=Eugene Emeralds say hello -- and prepare to say goodbye -- to Civic Stadium| date=20 June 2009 |access-date=2016-09-06}} in 2010 the Eugene Emeralds moved into PK Park, the new baseball stadium across town that was built by the University of Oregon. The Emeralds new home, PK Park, is adjacent to Autzen Stadium and near the Willamette River. They share the new facility with the Oregon Ducks collegiate baseball team, whose regular season ends in May. This left an antiquated Civic Stadium without any active tenants. A vacant Civic Stadium was destroyed by arson in 2015.{{Cite web|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2015/10/3_boys_get_probation_for_fire.html|title=3 boys get probation for fire that leveled Eugene's Civic Stadium| date=8 October 2015 |access-date=2016-09-06}}

In 2009, playing for the Emeralds, Nate Freiman led the league for the season in RBIs (68), extra-base hits (33) and total bases (140).{{cite web |url=http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20091203&content_id=7749414&vkey=news_sd&fext=.jsp&c_id=sd |author=Jonathan Mayo |title=Plenty of potential among Padres' Draft picks |publisher=Sandiego.padres.mlb.com |date=December 4, 2009 |access-date=March 12, 2013 }}{{dead link|date=October 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}

In 2016, the Emeralds were awarded two "Golden Bobbleheads" for Minor League Baseball's Best Community Promotion and Best Overall Promotion. The awards were due to their work with Children's Miracle Network and their honorary player that year, Hayden Kumle.{{Cite web|date=2016-10-04|title=Emeralds Receive Two Coveted|url=https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/emeralds-receive-two-coveted-golden-bobblehead-awards/n-5206395|access-date=2020-11-02|website=OurSports Central|language=en}}

The Emeralds won the NWL title in 2018 despite finishing {{winpct|31|45|record=y}}, last in the overall standings. They clinched a wild card playoff spot with a {{winpct|17|21|record=y}} record in the second half, second behind Hillsboro, who had finished first in both halves. The Emeralds proceeded to sweep both Hillsboro and Spokane in the postseason en route to the title. Dubbed the "Bad News Ems," the .408 regular season winning percentage was the worst ever for a NWL champion.{{Cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/milb/news/eugene-emeralds-balk-it-off-to-win-nwl-championship-294250130|title=Eugene balks it off to capture NWL crown|last=Horton|first=Josh|date=2018-09-11|website=MiLB|access-date=2018-09-12}} Following that season, the Emeralds were awarded the 53rd Annual Larry MacPhail Award, this award is in recognition for the franchises top promotional effort.{{Cite web|publisher=Ballpark Digest|date=2018-10-25|title=Eugene Emeralds Win Larry MacPahil Award|url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2018/10/25/eugene-emeralds-win-larry-macpahil-award/|access-date=2020-11-02|website=ballparkdigest.com}}

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minor League Baseball season was cancelled. In the winter of 2020 as part the reorganization of minor league baseball, Eugene received an invitation to play as the High-A affiliate of San Francisco Giants.{{Cite web|last=Guardado|first=Maria|date=2020-12-09|title=Giants invite 4 Minor League affiliates|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/giants-invite-four-minor-league-affiliates|access-date=2020-12-10|website=MLB.com|language=en}} In a further change, they were organized into the High-A West along with five other teams previously of the Northwest League.{{cite web|last=Mayo|first=Jonathan|title=MLB Announces New Minors Teams, Leagues|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/new-minor-league-baseball-structure|website=Major League Baseball|date=February 12, 2021|access-date=February 12, 2021}} Eugene ended the 2021 season in first place with a 69–50 record.{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?id=0fcaaa77 |title=2021 High-A West |website=Baseball-Reference |publisher=Sports Reference |access-date=October 9, 2021}} They then defeated the Spokane Indians, 3–1, to win the High-A West championship.{{cite news |last=Terranova |first=Rob |url=https://www.milb.com/milb/news/eugene-emeralds-claim-third-championship-in-5-seasons |title=Emeralds Claim Third Championship in Five Seasons |website=Minor League Baseball |date=September 25, 2021 |access-date=October 9, 2021}} In 2022, the High-A West became known as the Northwest League, the name historically used by the regional circuit prior to the 2021 reorganization.{{cite web|url=https://www.milb.com/news/minor-league-baseball-historical-league-names-to-return-in-2022|title=Historical League Names to Return in 2022|website=Minor League Baseball|date=March 16, 2022|access-date=March 16, 2022}}

In 2019, the Emeralds unveiled their "Monarcas de Eugene" on-field identity as part of minor league baseball's "Copa de Diversion."{{cite web | url=https://www.milb.com/eugene/news/ems-unveil-copa-de-la-diversion-brand-monarcas-de-eugene-269201040 | title=Ems Unveil }}

The Emeralds began the process of looking for a new stadium to compete in. Due to the promotion to the High-A level as well as a longer season of baseball, PK Park has no longer become an option to play in. Team officials began discussing with Lane County officials about the feasibility of constructing a new stadium located at the Lane Events Center.{{Cite web|last=Banta|first=Megan|date=2022-01-29|title='We're going to build this': Eugene Emeralds GM says building new stadium by 2024 not impossible|url=https://www.oregonlive.com/mlb/2022/01/were-going-to-build-this-eugene-emeralds-gm-says-building-new-stadium-by-2024-not-impossible.html|access-date=2022-01-30|website=oregonlive|language=en}}

On March 13, 2024, the Eugene City Council voted to place a $15 million bond measure on the ballot for their May 21 primary election. This would partially fund the stadium project's expected cost of over $104 million; however, Lane County administrators had advised a reset in planning before committing to this project. City Councilors had previously required this commitment and financial reports of the stadium's operations.{{cite web | url= https://www.klcc.org/sports/2024-03-13/eugene-voters-will-decide-in-may-whether-to-help-fund-a-new-stadium | title= Eugene voters will decide in May whether to help fund a new stadium | date= 14 March 2024 }}{{cite web | url= https://www.registerguard.com/story/sports/local/2023/08/30/eugene-emeralds-minor-league-baseball-stadium-lane-events-center-facility/70700977007 | title=Lane County Commissioners Continue Exploring Options }} The Lane Events Center masterplan did not recommend the Emeralds' stadium because it was too large, requiring removal of the very functional multi-use Indoor Arena, and would detract from fairground operations by hindering profitable events, with an expected annual loss of $200,000.{{cite web | url= https://cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_3585797/File/Government/BCC/2023/2023_AGENDAS/082223agenda/T.8.B.pdf | title=Lane County Events Center Master Plan }}
