Show any stuff from short-lived minor league teams

[bbpostcards]

Formerly called the Pacific Northwest League, the Pacific National League was renamed in 1903 as a challenge to its new rival, the Pacific Coast League. In 1904, the PNL consisted of the Salt Lake City Elders, Butte Miners, Spokane Indians, and Boise Fruit Pickers.

On a bit of a roll now. Here's a 1979 jersey from the Santa Clara Padres, a Cal-League entry for just this one year and again an independent. Brutal uniforms--just brutal. This "away" top looks okay but now add in green pants with a red and white piping and red stirrups. Now...come to the home jersey which was a bright red version of this one, only white script lettering and worn with the same green pants. Looked like a Christmas tree out there. But the team wasn't without notice--it included Rays Manager Joe Maddon and two guys who got a little time in the bigs--Ron Tingley, a catcher for the Angels and John Hobbs who made a couple of appearances with the Twins.

The Wichita Braves lasted 3 years from 1956-1958. Many of the call ups by the Milwaukee club came from these teams.

As a Wichita guy myself, that's awesome. Thanks for sharing...
