	Seattle Rainiers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Seattle Rainiers, originally named the Seattle Indians, were a minor league baseball team which played in the Pacific Coast League from 1903 through 1906, and from 1919 though 1968.
		The Red Sox in turn sold the Rainiers to the Los Angeles Angels in 1965, who renamed the team the Seattle Angels, as they were known during their last four seasons.
		The last hurrah for the Rainiers-turned-Angels came in 1966, when the Seattle Angels won the championship of the PCL's new Western Division (the PCL had absorbed former American Association teams in the midwestern and southwestern parts of the United States).

	New video history of Rainiers touches all the bases of magical ballclub (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The best thing about "The Seattle Rainiers," a splendid new video history of the team, is that it treats its subject less as some quaint chapter of the local past and more as one of our area's greatest cultural icons and a thrilling legacy of baseball purity and excellence.
		Seattle was a charter member of the Pacific Coast League in 1903, and its team hobbled through the decades with several names (Giants, Indians), uninspired ownership (especially from the greedy and gutless Bill Klepper, who bought the team from Dugdale in 1920) and only one PCL pennant, in 1924.
		Above all, the Seattle Rainiers have one of the all-time great baseball myths: two fairy-tale bookend seasons -- '38 and '55 -- both dominated by a hometown hero who looked like Dick Tracy, played with the determination of Knute Rockne and died as publicly and as well as Lou Gehrig.

		SEATTLE (AP) - It was a reversal of roles, of sorts, for the Seattle Rainiers, as they set themselves to square off against their inter-city rival, the Sasquatch.
		The normally-formidable Rainiers were not only looking up (far, far up) in the standings at their opponents, but were riddled with injury, as Harold Druken, Chris Drury and Mark Parrish were all in the press box, and goaltender Damian Rhodes was forced into an emergency start.
		However, thanks to a 6-to-1 power-play advantage, the Rainiers held the Sasquatch to a mere twenty shots, and Rhodes recorded the thirteenth shutout of his NSHL career (but his first since 1999-2000) to earn the win.

		Baseball life in Seattle took its most dramatic turn in 1995 when the Mariners captured their first AL West Division championship.
