  • California Dreamin'
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 6, Nos. 7 & 8 (1984) California Dreamin’ West Coast Pros in the 1930s By Bob Gill, in association with Tod Maher Back in the days when major-league football did not exist west of the Mississippi, the Pacific Coast Pro Football League of the 1940s paved the way for the coming West Coast franchises in the NFL and AAFC. But even before that, all through the 1930s a series of abortive leagues and independent teams laid the foundation in California for the ultimately successful Pacific Coast league. Most notable, of course, were the achievements of the Los Angeles Bulldogs, who from 1936-38 fielded a team capable of competing with NFL clubs. But even on a slightly lower level, California pro football in the ‘30s was, if not thriving, at least hanging in there, keeping the doors open until the public was ready to welcome its product. For the first few years of that decade, pro football on the West Coast consisted solely of post-season barnstorming by NFL teams like Ernie Nevers’ Chicago Cardinals. But 1934 saw the appearance of the fledgling Pacific Coast Pro Football league; and though the circuit didn’t last long, at least its choice of a name proved ultimately enduring. The league featured six teams, four clustered around Los Angeles, the other two from the San Francisco area. Its original ambitious schedule called for a ten-game season beginning Sept. 23 and ending Dec. 30. Most notable may have been the financial arrangements, with players receiving no salaries; instead, after each game, members of the winning team were to receive $75 apiece, those on the losing club $50.

  • Baseball History
    Christian Brothers Baseball History 1930 - 1959 By James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 1 Introductory Note This is an attempt to chronicle the rich and colorful history of baseball played at Christian Brothers High School from the years 1930 to 1959. Much of the pertinent information for such an endeavor exists only in yearbooks or in scrapbooks from long ago. Baseball is a spring sport, and often yearbooks were published before the season’s completion. There are even years where yearbooks where not produced at all, as is the case for the years 1930 to 1947. Prep sports enjoyed widespread coverage in the local papers, especially during the hard years of the Great Depression and World War II. With the aid of old microfilm machines at the City Library, it was possible to resurrect some of those memorable games as told in the pages of the Sacramento Bee and Union newspapers. But perhaps the best mode of research, certainly the most enter- taining, is the actual testimony of the ballplayers themselves. Their recall of events from 50 plus years ago, even down to the most minor of details is simply astonishing. Special thanks to Kathleen Davis, Terri Barbeau, Joe Franzoia, Gil Urbano, Vince Pisani, Billy Rico, Joe Sheehan, and Frank McNamara for opening up their scrapbooks and sharing photographs. This document is by no means a complete or finished account. It is indeed a living document that requires additions, subtractions, and corrections to the ongoing narrative. Respectfully submitted, James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 2 1930 s the 1920’s came to a close, The Gaels of Christian Brothers High School A had built a fine tradition of baseball excellence unmatched in the Sacra- mento area.

  • Dimaggio's Other Streak
    General Admission DiMaggio’s Other Streak by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research In 1933, Joe DiMaggio was an 18-year old rookie playing for his hometown San Francisco Seals in the Class AA Pacific Coast League (PCL). An unknown who had been playing semi-pro ball two years earlier as a newsboy, his name was often misspelled in the press of the day as De Maggio, even after he broke the PCL record for hitting safely in consecutive games set in 1915 by Jack Ness. It wasn’t until Seals owner and PCL vice-president Charley Graham was making arrangements to have DiMaggio’s name engraved on a gold watch presented to him for breaking the record that the question arose. After all, Joe’s older brother Vince, a former Seal who was then playing with the Hollywood Stars, spelled his name DiMaggio. Joe had actually played 3 games at shortstop with the Seals at the end of the 1932 season and had only been invited to spring training in 1933 after his brother Vince argued his case to manager Lefty O’Doul. It worked out well for Joe, who the team signed, but not so well for Vince, who the team released. Luckily for DiMaggio and for the fans in San Francisco, O’Doul moved him from shortstop to right field. DiMaggio was very erratic, always overthrowing the first baseman. His throwing arm was better suited to an outfielder and he was a pretty fair hitter. No one had any idea of what was to come.

  • California Winter League Standings
    California Winter League Standings The California Winter League was integrated during the 1910-11 season when Rube Foster brought the Leland Giants to the West Coast to play the winter league season. The following California Winter League standings were compiled by William McNeil for his book The California Winter League (McFarland Publishing). In his book, McNeil indicates that newspaper coverage was not always very good and that numerous game accounts are missing for each season, therefore, it is important to note that most of the season standings are most likely not complete. An asterisk by a team’s name indicates it was a black team. California Winter League (1910-11) Team Won Lost Ties Pct. McCormicks 12 5 1 .706 San Diego 7 4 0 .636 * Lincoln Giants 10 7 2 .588 Doyles 2 14 1 .125 California Winter League (1911-12) The presence of Rube Foster’s Lincoln Giants team in the California Winter League during the 1910-11 season raised the quality of play in the league, attracted a higher caliber of ball player (Major and Minor League players) to the white teams, increased the fan base and significantly increased attendance at the league games. When no black team joined the league for the 1911-12 season, the California Winter League reverted back to a semi-professional league for the season. Teams that played in the California Winter League for the 1911-12 season were: Fillmore, Harris & Frank, Henry & Cornett, Jeffries, Oxnard, Pomona, San Bernadino and Ventura. It is important to note that in addition to the California Winter League there were several other leagues that played baseball in California during the winter of 1911-12.

The Cor- September 26, 1954 sairs enter their Sunday afternoon game with the Brooklyn Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn, N.Y. Dodgers a full 43 games behind the National League champion New York Giants. Mired in a 2-for-25 slump with only one extra base hit in his pre- vious nine games, Allie begins the season finale against Dodg- ers’ rookie sensation Karl Spooner with a .201 batting average. Allie is hitless in four at bats against Spooner when he flies out to left fielder Sandy Amoros in the eighth inning in what turns out to be his final at bat as a major leaguer. The F7 drops his batting average for the season and his career to .199 (.19856 to be exact). A hit in any one of his four at bats that afternoon would have enabled Allie to finish above the .200 mark.
