PCL: Northern California
Northern California was home to four Pacific Coast League teams. The Sacramento Solons/Senators represented the state’s capitol, while Bay Area fans had three teams to call their own: the Oakland Oaks played at Oaks Park in Emeryville, while San Francisco had the Seals and Missions both playing at Seals Stadium.
Featured Teams
Mission Reds
The Mission club (variously known as Mission Bells, Mission Reds, or just “the Missions” was San Francisco’s second team, sharing Seals Stadium with the more popular Seals. The team was the transplanted Vernon Tigers. The team never matched the popularity of the rival Seals, but did win a pennant in 1929. The club moved back to Los Angeles in 1938 and became the “new” Hollywood Stars.
Oakland Oaks
The Oaks were charter members of the PCL. The team was a fierce rivals of the San Francisco Seals. These two teams even played home-and-home doubleheaders, where an early game would be played in San Francisco or Oakland, and a late game in the rival city across the Bay. One of the best Oaks seasons was in 1948, where under the leadership of manager Casey Stengel led “the Nine Old Men” to the PCL title. The ’48 club also featured a young shortstop named Billy Martin. After suffering a severe decline in attendance in 1955, the Oaks packed up and moved north to Vancouver, Canada.
Sacramento Solons (Senators)
Sacramento was a charter member of the PCL in 1903, but after struggling, this first team moved to Tacoma, WA in 1904. The better-known Sacramento team joined the league in 1918, and was known early on as the Senators. Brach Rickey purchased the club in 1935 and re-named them the Solons. Pennants followed in 1938 and 1939. Home games were played at Edmonds Field. Sacramento moved to Honolulu in 1961 and became the Hawaii Islanders.
San Francisco Seals
The Seals were charter members of the PCL, and won fourteen league titles during their long tenure in the league. The DiMaggio brothers, Joe, Dom, and Vince, all played for the Seals. During the 1933 season, 18-year-old Joe DiMaggio had a 61-game hitting streak. After leaving San Francisco’s Recreation Park, the Seals moved into modern Seals Stadium in the Mission District in 1931, sharing it for several years with the Mission Reds.
