The High Desert Mavericks are a minor league baseball team in Adelanto, California, USA. Their Major League parent club is the Texas Rangers. They are a Class A - Advanced team in the California League. The franchise was founded in 1988 and was first located in Riverside, California and known as the Red Wave from 1988. In 1991 it relocated north across the mountains to Adelanto, part of the Victor Valley metro area in California's High Desert region. The Rangers are the eighth parent club in the Mavericks' relatively short history. The Mavericks play their home games at Heritage Field at Stater Bros. Stadium (known as Stater Bros. Stadium from 2007 to 2014 and Mavericks Stadium until 2007) which opened in 1991 and seats 3,808 fans. The park is known to be an extreme hitter-friendly venue which tends to inflate home run totals drastically.〔(Monday Dish: High Desert’s Park Strikes Again, ''Baseball America'', June 29, 2009 )〕 As a result, offensive statistics for High Desert players must be discounted for comparative purposes, while the reverse is the case for statistics accumulated by High Desert pitchers.〔(Seattle Mariners Top 20 Prospects for 2010, ''Minor League Ball'', January 11, 2010 )〕 ==Achievements== * The Mavericks are the only team in California League history to win championships in the years that their major league parent clubs came into existence. * The Mavericks were the first team in California League history to have cheerleaders. The Maverick Girls would perform dance numbers on top of the dugouts in between innings. * On June 28, 2009, the Mavericks performed two historic feats on one day. They combined with the Lake Elsinore Storm to set a California League record for combined runs scored (51) in a 33-18 loss, and outfielder James McOwen broke the California League record for longest hitting streak, hitting safely for the 36th straight game on the same day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High Desert Mavericks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
