#10 Bernie Friberg's team is listed as "Mission". The bio on the back discusses his recent major league experience with no clue to who "Mission" is. Can anyone help? |

I would guess they would be the Mission Reds of the PCL. Baseball reference lists his last year in MLB as 1933. In 1934 he was probably in the minors. |

If Mission were the PCL Missions, there ought to be a corresponding Zeenut, but there isn't. Does someone have PCL Missions stats, or was there a second team with that nickname? |

The Mission Reds of the Pacific Coast League. Originally, they were in the Mission District of San Francisco. When Friberg was there, the Mission Reds played in Seals Stadium as tenants of the Seals. |

Barney Friberg was DEFINITELY playing with the Mission Reds of San Francisco (PCL) in 1933. The Missions received Friberg from the Boston Red Sox as part of a deal for Bill "Bucky" Walters on July 5,1933. Friberg played 69 games with the Missions that season, all at 3rd base, and carried a .272 average. Friberg was not happy playing in the PCL as it was far from his East Coast residence / family. He was released on March 16, 1934 after the Missions were unable to sell or trade him. Friberg finished his pro career in 1934, playing 4 games with Williamsport (NY-Penna League) and 78 games with Albany in the International League |
