A summer baseball team composed of players from collegiate programs across the country plays its home games at Great Park in Irvine, California, and bills itself as Orange County’s best-kept secret.

Relatively few people, indeed, are aware of the Orange County Riptide. With the Angels based in Anaheim, despite what the team’s official name suggests, the Dodgers actually in Los Angeles and minor-league clubs in Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, and Lake Elsinore, there is certainly no shortage of opportunities for area fans to catch games.
