Salton Sea Crown and Rivalry with Tucson Butchers

Main: Salton Sea Crown

During Season 10, when the Birds met the Tucson Butchers in the Cold League championship for the third time, the two teams agreed to start a rivalry, which they named the Salton Sea Crown. The two teams meet annually at the Salton Sea, which is the most significant landmark between Long Beach and Tucson that could be agreed upon, for an awards ceremony and festivities.
