The Great Falls Voyagers are a minor league baseball team based in Great Falls, Montana. This team has played continuously since 1969[1], and also played in the Pioneer League from 1948 to 1963. The Voyagers may feature players from all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and the Caribbean.
The "Voyagers" name refers to an event in the August of 1950, when Nick Mariana, the general manager of the Great Falls Electrics, saw two spinning objects approaching at a seemingly high speed. Mariana recorded 16 seconds of footage of the unidentified flying objects at Legion Park.[2]
The Voyagers became an affiliate of the Chicago White Sox starting with the 2003 season. Previously the team was affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers (1983-2003), and the San Francisco Giants (1969-1983). The team plays its home games at Centene Stadium and is a member of the Pioneer League.
