Synopses & Reviews
The Pacific Coast League emerged from the Depression in fairly good condition. There were four new ball parks: Seals Stadium in San Francisco in 1931, Lane Field in San Diego in 1936, Sick's Stadium in Seattle in 1938 and Gilmore Field in Hollywood in 1939. But after Pearl Harbor, it was unclear whether baseball would continue.
This work focuses on the unusual 1942 to 1945 wartime seasons. It offers final standings and details of the ballparks as well as the players. Appendices gives the records of individual players and of teams.
