Abstract
The Ortiz Family Collection on the Las Vegas 51s Baseball Team consists of programs, baseball cards, posters, newspaper clippings, and seasonal media guides from 1983 to 2010. The bulk of material is from 1983-2000, when the Las Vegas Stars franchise was affiliated with the San Diego Padres. In 1983, a Pacific Coast Minor League franchise moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, and became the Las Vegas Stars. The team was an affiliate of the San Diego Padres from 1983 to 2000, and in 2001 the name changed to the Las Vegas 51s. The team was then affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2001-2008), the Toronto Blue Jays (2009-2012), and the New York Mets (2013-2018). Now the Las Vegas Aviators, the team is affliated with the Oakland A's (2019-present).
