Description: Played in the Pacific Coast League from 1903 through 1957.
The San Francisco Seals were a San Francisco professional baseball team that played in the Pacific Coast League (PCL) from 1903 through 1957, when the New York Giants moved to San Francisco. During this time, the PCL was made up of teams up and down the Pacific Coast, from Seattle in the north to San Diego in the south. The Seals, their cross-bay rivals the Oakland Oaks, and all other PCL teams were successful financially (at least until the early 1950s) because back then there were no televised major league games, or any major league teams west of St. Louis. In fact in 1948, the Seals set a season attendance record of 670,000, a minor league record that stood for almost 40 years. Many future major leaguers got their start playing with the Seals or other PCL teams from the league's beginnings through the 1950s. Players liked playing in the relatively cooler West Coast weather and at times could make more money playing in the PCL than in the majors.
