History

Owned and managed by the Stockton Ports' former owner and manager Carl W. Thompson, Sr., the team had a record of 26-46, being worst in the league. Season attendance at Hoquiam's Olympic Stadium was fourth in the seven-team Northwest League at 28,842. The Ports' star pitcher Barry Biggerstaff (9-7, 3.44) led the league in almost every counting category with 17 starts, 15 complete games, 3 shutouts (having tied for the lead), 144 innings, 138 hits, 77 runs, 55 earned runs and 123 strikeouts. ^[1]^[2]

After Thompson sold the team in 1977, the Ports became the

Grays Harbor Mets, playing as an affiliate of the New York Mets

. In 1980, the franchise was once again the Grays Harbor Loggers for the team's final season.
