The Pacific Coast League is a minor league
baseball league operating in the West and Midwest of the United
States and Canada. The Pacific Coast League has a long tradition in the West Coast,
with teams with evocative names such as the San Francisco Seals, Oakland Oaks, Los Angeles Angels, San Diego Padres, and Sacramento Solons. The league
was disrupted by the moves of the Brooklyn Dodgers to
Los Angeles and the New York Giants to San Francisco. The league never recovered from those days, and dwindled to nothing more
than another minor league.
In 1997, the Pacific Coast League agreed to merge with the American Association, which had
operated in the Midwest. The league now stretches from western Washington to
Middle Tennessee. The league is divided into two conferences, each with two
divisions. The American Conference consists of the Eastern Division and the Central
Division. The Pacific Conference consists of the Northern Division and the
Southern Division.
