Posted By: <b>Mark Macrae</b><p>Membership in the PCL Historical Society is $15 per year. Check can be mailed to the same address as lunch reservations above. A newsletter, the POTPOURRI, is published 6 times a year. Currently, there are two player reunions held each year. One in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, the other in Oakland. Gatherings have also been held in the past in Portland, San Diego, Seattle and Sacramento. The PCLHS does not have an 'official' website, but there are several members who have created their own sites. Since web addresses tend to change regularly, go to google and search for your favorite franchise. In addition, the Pacific Coast League has a section on it's website recognizing the League's rich history (<a href="http://pclbaseball.com/pcl100/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://pclbaseball.com/pcl100/</a>). Due to staffing and funding issues, the site is not updated regularly, however.

Posted By: <b>Mark Macrae</b><p>Just a reminder that the PCL Reunion is this coming SAturday, for those of you living in Northern California. Twenty six players and one PCL Umpire have confirmed so far. Lunches are sold out. Should be a fun time for all of those who attend.
