The Salem Angels were an Oregon-based short-season Class A affiliate of the California Angels during the mid-1980’s. During Salem’s first season as an Angels’ affiliate in 1982, the club won the Northwest League championship. This despite finishing the regular season with a losing record of 34-36.
The Salem Senators were a ramshackle independent franchise (i.e. no Major League parent club) in the short-season Class A Northwest League from 1977 until 1981. The Senators were a brand revival of Salem’s earlier Senators team, which played in the city from 1940 until 1960. The team changed its name to the Salem Angels in 1982 after securing a Major League affiliation with the California Angels.
