Founded in 1945, the Humboldt Crabs are the oldest, continuously-operated, collegiate, independent, wood-bat, summer baseball team in the country. The team has played in multiple leagues in the past such as the Far West League (2011-13) where they won the 2011 & 2012 league championships, but has mostly played as an independent in it's history.

In the 77+-year history of the Humboldt Crabs, over 300 players have continued on to play professional baseball, with over 60 former Crabs going all the way to the Major Leagues. The Crabs will often play teams from the CCL, WCL, and GSCBL, and other independent collegiate summer teams such as the Medford Rogues and Alaska Goldpanners.
