The Blaze name arrived when the Los Angeles Dodgers ended an 11-year affiliation and local ownership rebranded, fielding a rare co-operative roster stocked by multiple big league organizations in its first two seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blaze played at Sam Lynn Ballpark, the 1941-vintage park famous for facing west into the setting sun, which forced evening games to start late enough for the glare to clear the center field backdrop. Josh Hamilton, the future American League MVP, played for the 2002 Blaze, and Ken Griffey Sr. managed the club from 2011 to 2013.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Blaze folded after the 2016 season, it ended 75 years of California League baseball in Bakersfield; the club was the last remaining charter member still playing in its original city. The team went out with the league's longest-tenured address and one of its quirkiest ballparks, done in by the aging facility rather than the fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRetro Baseball Revival celebrates historic baseball teams with unique apparel, honoring their legacy and bringing history to one-of-a-kind clothing with our old school retro baseball tees from defunct Minor League Baseball teams.
