A little about the history of the Pacific Coast League in the 1950's. This league at that time was the only league in the West. Older players coming down from the major's and young players who needed another season or two in the minors. The transportation was not as fast then as now. It was difficult for a major league team to call up a player in a hurry. Most young players who were about ready were in the International League back East. They could be called up quickly.More about the teams next time.
Yeah..now I remember that. We used to choose up teams..best kids went first...I was ALWAYS last.
