History

In 1946, local community leaders had a dream about establishing professional baseball on the Kitsap Peninsula. The result was the Bremerton Bluejackets, the county’s first and only professional baseball team.

In 2004, another group of baseball entrepreneurs led by Rick Smith, bought the Kitsap Bluejackets and became an inaugural member of the prestigious West Coast League, a collegiate woodbat league founded in 2011.

In 2015, a new ownership group with MACK Athletics and Matt Acker purchased the team. In 2016, ownership relocated the team to Port Angeles, Washington and renamed them the Port Angeles Lefties.

gollark: According to our analysts, this is actually just one of our simulations, to simulate the effects of a GTech™ unable to create proper AI.
gollark: I was going to create one with a reward defined as making LyricLy extend the deadline until I could get it to work, but sure.
