The other guy I am really curious about, though not eligible for a long while yet, I guess, is...
Hector Espino.
And I too hate changing the conversation. ;-)
Do I read this right? 1929 for SF? The 1928 SF team had the best OF in minor league history (Averill/Jolley/RJohnson) and they pick up a guy like Ike Boone the next year?
Actually, you do not read this right.
Averill, Jolley, et. al. played from the San Francisco Seals, who obviously won the PCL pennant in 1928. In 1929, Ike Boone joined a different team -- officially called the Mission Bells, known also as the Mission Reds, but called most often just the "Missions". Since the Mission is a neighborhood in San Francisco, San Francisco Missions would also be appropriate.
The Missions were therefore a completely different team, managed in this era by Red Killefer.
The Missions finished fourth in 1928, but in 1929, with the addition of Ike Boone, they pushed the Seals down the second. In 1930, they dropped down to 7th out of 8.
