El Centro Imperials

El Centro Imperials

The El Centro Imperials were a professional minor league baseball team based out of El Centro, California. They played in the Sunset League from 1947 to 1950 and then the Southwest International League in 1951 and 1952 (the team shortened their name to the "Imps" in 1952). They played their home games at Stark Field.

The Imperials won the Sunset League championship in 1950 before moving to the Southwest League, but were the worst team in the Southwest League in 1952. They went 28-47-1 before withdrawing from the league on July 13. The club did not have past or future major-leaguers on their roster during the campaign.

Honored by the Scorpions

In 2008, the Imperials were honored by the Golden Baseball League's Yuma Scorpions by having four games played at Stark Field during the season as Scorpions home games. The team donned special throwback uniforms of the Imperials.
