	San Francisco Seals (PCL) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The San Francisco Seals were a minor league baseball team which played in the Pacific Coast League from 1903 until 1957.
		During the 1914 season, the Sacramento Solons were moved to San Francisco, where they finished out the season playing as the San Francisco Missions, supposedly representing the city’s Mission District.
		During the 1957 season, the New York Giants announced their move to San Francisco for the 1958 season, and the Seals were forced to relocate as a result.

		Williams grew up in San Francisco and studied engineering at the University of California where he was half of a reversible battery with Orval Overall, who starred for the great Chicago Cubs teams of the 1906-1910 period.

		Years later, San Francisco Chronicle writer Ed Hughes wrote that what Jacobs, who weighed only 165 pounds, did was raise the seams a little by twisting the ball in the powerful grip of his hands, enabling him to do “funny things” with the ball.

		Harbor seals are a species at risk, and researchers can only hope a killer virus doesn't come into play.

		Strub, who had been an infielder for the San Francisco team in the outlaw California State League in 1903-04, was flamboyant and known as the "advertising dentist" because of his billboards and newspaper ads from which, one observer said, it was impossible to escape.
		The Seals played at Recreation Park at 15th and Valencia Streets and the three owners became known as "The Valencia Street Vanderbilts." In 1934, when horse racing was legalized in California, Strub created and built Santa Anita racetrack in Southern California and became its president.
		San Francisco led the league in batting (.298), runs (1085), triples (79) and team fielding (.964) and had four of the top 12 pitchers in ERA.

	As I Remember it. . . by John Gilmore
		San Francisco's Seals arrived at Oaks Park for the first of two nine inning games played that day, the unique Sunday Pacific Coast League doubleheader schedule when the cross bay rivals played each other in four seven game series per season.
		Beautiful day at Park Avenue and San Pablo, traditional wooden stands, a day like all days that fit in a calendar and was 24 hours long, though different from all others because of what happened to individuals, groups, peoples, countries, seas, oceans, lakes, streams, flora and fauna, creatures and critters.
		The Seals were dressed in gray, navy blue caps with white eyelits and topknot with an intertwined "SF", two inch blue block letter "SEALS" across their left chests and navy stirrups.

		And fans of the baseball team that currently plays in San Francisco (the one with no championships) will be interested to read the interview with ex-Seals shortstop Leo Righetti, father of Dave Righetti, whose major league career includes a stint in San Francisco as both a relief pitcher and a pitching coach.
		Most San Franciscans were delighted with the arrival of major league baseball, as can be seen from the tremendous welcome that Willie Mays and Company received when they arrived and from the intense interest displayed after the season started.
