Here's the cover photo from an interesting article on the quality of the PCL. Not sure of the exact year (c. 1917). The article has a number of great photos of Buck Weaver, Mike Donlin, Ty Lober, Roy Cohan, Fred Snodgrass, Joe Tinker, Frank Chance, Ping Bodie and others.



The article concludes:

"The Pacific Coast League stands as high now as it can stand among the minor leagues, and it is a recognized power among the minors. To grow it must expand to an eight-club organization and that expansion is not many years away. To grow greater still it must attain major league standing. Its rise to that standing is far, far in the future, but it is as certain as the growth of the great Pacific Coast."

Something in there for both sides, I guess.
