Oh yeah, the PCL had long seasons due to the temperate weather throughout most of the league cities. California also had a vibrant winter ball scene that even featured some Negro League players in semi-mixed competition (the teams were not integrated but there were interracial games). Lots of big names played out there. Per SABR: "Among the Negro Leaguers who played winter ball on the West Coast, Raleigh “Biz” Mackey reigns supreme, playing 18 winters in the Golden State and maintaining an impressive .366 batting average with 28 home runs."
Which is all by way of excuse for posting one of my favorite snapshots:

Ball
Amazing these things still turn up once in a great while. This is a game used ball from September 11, 1948. The game was between the Rockford Peaches and the Kenosha Comets...The final score was 4-0 Rockford. The ball is signed by 15 players from Rockford and has the date written in black ink along with "No hits No runs". It is an official ball. The game was pitched by Marge Holgerson of Rockford--her 4th career and last no hitter.

Picked up some George Burke photos of Hall of Famers. Burke might be my favorite prewar photographer...
