- Medford Rogues
-
The Medford Rogues were a professional minor league baseball team that played in the Class-C (equivalent to today's short-season single-A) Far West League from 1950 to 1951. They started as the Medford Nuggets in 1948 and played their home games at the Jackson County Baseball Park in Medford, Oregon.
The Rogues were an affiliate of the New York Giants in 1950 and were unaffiliated in 1951. The team folded in 1951 when they were unable to find a new home field after the ballpark was destroyed in a mysterious fire.
The Medford franchise was known to have paved the way for future teams in the city like the Medford Giants, the Medford Dodgers and the Medford A's/Southern Oregon Timberjacks of the Northwest League.
