Scottsdale Scorpions

The Scottsdale Scorpions are a baseball team that plays in the East Division of the Arizona Fall League.

The team was established in 1992 and has retained the Scorpions nickname through several location changes.

In the fall of 1994, the team gained worldwide media attention, when Michael Jordan joined the Scorpions after playing his first minor league baseball season with the Double-A Birmingham Barons in Birmingham, Alabama.

For the 2005 season, the team played its games in Surprise, Arizona, due to renovations of Scottsdale Stadium.

The team returned to Scottsdale Stadium the following year, renamed as the Grand Canyon Scorpions.
