Chico had their first baseball team named the Chico Heat, and for good reason. Chico summers can be brutal. Temperatures well over a hundred with a pretty good humidity. The Chico Outlaws came on scene after the Heat disbanded to regain the excitement of professional baseball. The Outlaws have done pretty well in Chico, but with summer highs soaking my shirts, I can't think of anything else but the heat. I don't know how they play baseball out it the direct sun. Plenty of hydration is needed.
