I saw the team when it was called the Stars. They've never been called the Aliens.

Chiloot---I stand corrected about calling them the Aliens. I have a hat sitting in front of me that is dark blue and it has a picture of a grey alien on the front. The hat was given to me when Ben Davis the catcher. He gave me the hat after he hit a game winning home run. I happened to attend the game with a cousin of Ben that night while we were out in LV. After the game Ben and a few players went out for some beer. Along with Bens' cousin, my wife and myself tagged along. This is he where he gave me the hat along with a signed poster. The LV 51's use the grey aliens emblem to associate the team with area 51. Ben player in the past has played for the San Diego--Seattle--and the Yankess. Ben biggest problem was he could not hit in the Majors that well. Since you seemed to research things to the "T" the hat was made by neweracap.com in the US of A. Getting back to the orginial post it is a great way to get a break away from the casinos spend a few hours and drink a few beers.

If you really want this to be correct, Ben Davis never played for the Yankees, he last appeared in the majors in 2004 with the White Sox, in addition to playing for the Padres and Mariners.

The Las Vegas Stars started playing 1983 as the AAA affiliate of the Padres. In 2001 they renamed themselves the 51s after becoming the AAA affiliate of the Dodgers. The 2009 season changed affiliates to the Blue Jays.

I called my friend and he suggested we look up Ben Davis (Baseball) and really get the story. I pulled it up and Ben was drafted in the first round and 2nd overall. He was signed with the following teams.
San Diego--Seattle---White Sox---Yankees--Orioles---Reds whether it was in the majors or minors he was signed to a contract. As I previously stated his biggest problem was hitting. In 2010 he solved that problem and became a pitcher where hitting is often overlooked. The emblem that is on the blue hat is the head of a grey. alien. Oh shit let's bury this topic snowgolfer go see the game it is relaxing and a break from the casinos.
