San Francisco Seals in Hana, Hawaii

[Archive]

Posted By: Ryan Christoff

I have a journalist friend of mine who is looking to write a story about the San Francisco Seals and the time they spent during spring training in the 1940's in Hawaii. Specifically, the city of Hana on the island of Maui.

From what I understand, Seals owner Paul Fagan started the Kauiki Inn, which later became the Hotel Hana-Maui. I believe it was 1947 or so that he brought the Seals to Hana for spring training.

If anyone has any information at all about this, please e-mail me at ryan@cubanbaseballcards.com.

I would also be interested in purchasing any photographs relating to the Seals in Hana.

If anyone has Mark Macrae's number I'd be grateful if you could e-mail it to me. I'm sure he'd be one of the best resources for this kind of information. I don't know many of the PCL collectors and historians, but would like as much information as possible so I'd appreciate any input from anyone.

Thanks for your help!
