A Humboldt County Tradition Semi-pro baseball Going into their 66th season, the Humboldt Crabs are America's oldest continuously operated summer collegiate baseball program. The non-profit organization draws tens of thousands of fans out every summer to see the stars of the future play at The Arcata Ball Park. The best part is the price. Tickets, beers and hotdogs for the family at a Crabs game might, if you're lucky, cover parking at a big league event. And the show in the stands, which includes rabid fans and the incomparable Crab Grass Band, is priceless. Season is June - August www.humboldtcrabs.com
