San Francisco Seals
Founded in 1903, the San Francisco Seals became a cornerstone of the Pacific Coast League and one of the most beloved clubs in baseball’s early West Coast era. Playing first at Recreation Park and later at Seals Stadium, the team produced legends like Joe DiMaggio and was managed by local hero Lefty O’Doul. Known for their talent, flair, and deep bond with the city, the Seals captured multiple pennants before giving way to the Giants’ arrival in 1958. Their legacy endures as a symbol of San Francisco’s strong baseball spirit.
Portland Beavers
Established in 1906, the Portland Beavers stood as one of the Pacific Coast League’s most resilient and celebrated franchises. Known for their scrappy play and devoted fanbase, the Beavers claimed several league titles and helped define Portland’s sports culture long before the city’s modern teams took root. Through decades of name changes and ballpark moves, the Beavers remained a local institution that captured the heart of the Pacific Northwest and kept baseball thriving in the Rose City.
Denver Bears
The Denver Bears brought high-level baseball to the Mile High City for much of the 20th century, becoming a Triple-A powerhouse in the American Association. Their 1980 squad, featuring future stars like Andre Dawson and Bill Madlock, remains one of the most dominant minor league teams in history. Beloved for their energy and connection to Denver’s growing sports identity, the Bears set the stage for major league baseball’s eventual arrival in Colorado, leaving behind a legacy of excellence and community pride.
Houston Buffs
The Houston Buffaloes, known simply as the Buffs, were Texas baseball royalty from the late 1800s through 1961. Playing at the famed Buffalo Stadium, the Buffs produced countless stars including Dizzy Dean and Joe Medwick, while pioneering one of the sport’s first formal farm systems under Branch Rickey. Deeply woven into Houston’s civic identity, the Buffs’ success and passionate following helped pave the way for the city’s transition to the majors and the birth of the Houston Astros.
