The Missoula Timberjacks played their home games at Lindborg-Cregg Field (later known as Allegiance Field), bringing professional baseball to western Montana. The team's name, "Timberjacks," reflected the region's rich logging history and connection to the forestry industry.
During their long run, the Timberjacks were affiliated with several major league organizations, including the Philadelphia Phillies, Oakland Athletics, and San Diego Padres. They provided Missoula baseball fans with the opportunity to see future major league talent develop, with players like Reggie Jackson, Rickey Henderson, and Jason Giambi passing through the team early in their careers.
The Timberjacks became a beloved fixture in Missoula's summer entertainment scene, offering affordable family fun and fostering a strong baseball culture in the community. They won the Pioneer League championship in 1974 and consistently fielded competitive teams throughout their history.
Despite their popularity and long-standing presence in Missoula, changing economics in minor league baseball led to the team's relocation after the 2000 season. They moved to Pasco, Washington, becoming the Tri-City Dust Devils, marking the end of an era for Missoula baseball fans.
