The Horizon Air Summer Series is a unique 11-week baseball competition among collegiate summer baseball clubs.
History
The Summer Series was founded in 2005 by Bob Bavasi, former owner of the Everett Aqua Sox, of the Northwest League. It is sponsored by Alaska Airlines sister company, Horizon Air. It is hosted by the Marysville Gold Sox of Marysville, California.
Among other leagues, teams from the Alaska Baseball League, West Coast Baseball League, Pacific International League, Southern California Collegiate Baseball Association, Sierra Baseball League, and California Collegiate League have competed in the Series.
The Series was originally made up of two divisions: The 40 game "McCullough Division" and the 20-game "Engelken Division". In 2008 the Series was expanded and a third division, the "Bavasi Division" named after the series founder's father and former Brooklyn Dodger and Los Angeles Dodger General Manager Emil "Buzzie" Bavasi was added.
The "Horizon Air Summer Series All Series Team" is released every August.
