The seven-time defending West Coast League champion Corvallis Knights become the Albany Rollers for one night this upcoming summer as Linn-Benton Community College hosts its first ever WCL contest at Dick McClain Field. We harken back 120 years to re-introduce Albany’s only professional baseball team – the Albany Rollers. We hope to bring the Albany community together for an evening of old-fashioned affordable family fun. The Rollers, short for Log Rollers, played at Albany Base Ball Park in 1904 after relocating mid-season from Vancouver, Washington. The Rollers, originally the Vancouver Soldiers, were a Class D professional club that finished the year in Albany after the team was forced to relocate during the season due to territorial rights issues. For two short months, before the league went bankrupt, Albany had a team. Fast forward to 2024, and the Rollers are back!
