Okay, minor-league baseball buffs. What do the Albuquerque Dukes, Calgary Canyons, Colorado Springs Sky Sox, Edmonton Trappers, and Las Vegas Stars have in common with the Phoenix Firebirds, Salt Lake Buzz, Tacoma Rainiers, Tucson Toros, and Vancouver Canadians? Give up? They are the members of the Pacific Coast League, the AAA minor league which dates back to 1903 and marks the start of baseball in the American West. Much of the PCL's success is due to the fact that in the late 1950s, Kansas City of the American league was the only major league franchise west of the Mississippi. Find out even more about the history of these distinguished teams from writer Bill O'Neal, a baseball fan since the late 1940s, in this appealing account for fans of the PCL, and minor league stalwarts everywhere.
