Rainiers
Tacoma won the West title for Class AAA baseball in the season that just concluded Sunday and in a normal year would be bound for the postseason.
But this is not a normal year and no playoffs are taking place because of Covid and the resulting lateness of this year's season.
Tacoma also won division titles in 2001 and 2010 in the Rainiers era, which began in 1995 when the team first became a Seattle Mariners affiliate.
They fought their way to the second round Pacific Coast League championship series in 2001 but did not go that time because of the events of Sept. 11.
