The entire league, including the Mavericks, will play their games at Volcanoes Stadium in the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area.

"[8] Ex-major leaguers and never-weres who could not stop playing the game flocked to the team's June try-outs, which were always open to anyone who showed up.

Perhaps the team's most successful Hollywood story is that of Maverick batboy Todd Field, who went on to have a long career as an actor before becoming a six-time Academy Award-nominated writer and director.

[15] Open tryouts for the team in early June 1973 drew 150 hopefuls, including one who hitchhiked across the country from Tennessee.

[2][7][16] Longtime minor-league star Hank Robinson managed the Mavericks to a record of 45–35 and a South Division title in 1973, their first season, but was suspended for a year after punching an umpire in late August.

Owner Bing Russell in November of that year promoted 24-year-old Lanny Moss to become the first female general manager in professional baseball.

[19][20] In 1975, again under manager Frank Peters, the Mavericks played to a 42–35 record, finishing in first place in the newly aligned North Division.

[31] The Mavericks attracted 125,300 fans to 33 regular season home dates (an average of almost 3,800 per game), setting a record for the highest short-season attendance in minor league history.

The first game was in Bellingham and the home team won 6–2 before a paltry crowd of 575 at Civic Field, as Bouton again took the loss for the Mavericks.

[34] The deciding game drew 7,805 fans, but the Mariners scored early and won 4–2 to secure the league title.

[39] On July 29, 2014, the Portland Mavericks Baseball Club, Inc., was re-incorporated with the Secretary of the State of Oregon and is currently in good standing.
