Really great. I love it when the A's do old school Pacific coast league uniform day and wear Oaks unis. |

At various times, the PCL toyed with the idea of becoming a third major league, not exactly competing with the majors but ruling west coast baseball. But they were laughed at. "How the hell do you expect Los Angeles to support two teams, the Bay Area to support two teams, Seattle to support a team. Poppycock!" The PCL was stable with seven teams having a long history
Los Angeles Angels
Hollywood Stars
Sacramento Senators
San Feancisco Seals
Oakland Oaks
Portland Beavers (heh heh, I said beaver)
Seattle Rainiers.
the 8th bounced a bit before settling in Salt Lake City. The Coast played 200 games a season, had their own farm clubs and their own stars. Many very good players stayed, preferring to star in LA or SF than to toil for the pathetic A's or Browns.
But Walter O'Malley wrecked all that.
