History
Team founding and naming (2024)
On January 19, 2024, the West Coast League announces that Salem would be the host of the league's 17th team, an expansion franchise. Months later after a name-the-team contest, the team was officially named the Marion Berries. The name's origin comes from the popular marionberry that was discovered in 1956, leading to a robust berry industry in the heart of the Willamette Valley. The Berries share regional baseball for the former professional Minor League Baseball team the Salem-Keiser Volcanoes and the Mavericks League.
