San Francisco Examiner, 17-March-1925

Here we see the 1925 San Francisco Seals in Spring Training. Bert Ellison played for the Seals from 1921 to 1927 and managed them from 1923 to 1926. I don't know why he is holding a fish.

He once hit five home runs in a PCL double header.

O'Doul the Umbrella Man -- November 21, 2023

Oakland Post-Enquirer, 03-November-1923

Lefty O'Doul was born in San Francisco's Butchertown. He was a left-handed pitcher. He played for the San Francisco Seals, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. He didn't have much success in the majors, so when he developed a sore arm, he went back to the PCL and learned to play outfield. He turned out to be a powerful hitter. In 1935, his major league career was over and he managed the San Francisco Seals from 1935 to 1951. He did much to encourage baseball in Japan. The Seals toured the country in 1949.
