In the early 1980s, a group including then Seattle Mariners coach Bill Plummer, and Cottonwood livestock auction yard owner Ellington Peak, were in the works to bring the California League's Lodi Dodgers or Stockton Ports, then both owned by Plummer's former teammate Ed Sprague Sr. and his wife Michele Sprague, to Shasta County.
The Lodi Dodgers moved to Southern California in 1986 and eventually became the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, while the Ports stayed in Stockton and received a new stadium in 2005.
