History

Team origins

The Aces were originally known as the Tucson Sidewinders from 1998 to 2008. Before that, the team was first known as the Tucson Toros. They were Tucson's Triple-A baseball club, playing at Hi Corbett Field in midtown Tucson from 1969 to 1997. Part of the old 10-team configuration of the Pacific Coast League, the Toros won the PCL Championship in 1991 and 1993. The Toros were preceded by a number of other Tucson teams between 1915 and 1958, such as the Tucson Cowboys and the Tucson Lizards.

Northern Nevada Aces (collegiate wood bat scout team)

The Northern Nevada Aces Scout Team is a collegiate summer baseball team based out of Carson City, Nevada. They will begin play in 2011 in the Far West League and play their home games at Western Nevada College in Carson City. The team was originally going to be named the Reno Aces after the Triple-A Pacific Coast League franchise, but due to potential trademark issues with the name and logo, the franchise decided to go with the scout team name. They will still be called the "Aces".
