S.F.'s rich Japanese baseball history / Shinjo's signing continues a tradition that goes back nearly a century Now San Francisco has Shinjo, whose new baseball home is Pacific Bell Park, which was designed by HOK Inc.

San Francisco's connection to Japanese baseball prevailed through the decades -- a Japanese American team called the San Francisco Collegians visited Japan in the early 1920s, and the San Francisco Hawks currently play in a California league of Japanese Americans.
