The Las Vegas 51s (formerly the Las Vegas Stars) are a minor league baseball team. They are the AAA affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. They play at Cashman Field (capacity 9,334) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The team competes in the Pacific Coast League.
The 51s take their name from Area 51 (located in the desert about 80 miles north of Las Vegas), and their logo jokingly depicts one of the "Grey" aliens believed by UFO fans to inhabit that base.
The 51s have won four PCL crowns (originally as the Stars), in 1917, 1924, 1986 and 1988.
