Claim: Frenchy Uhalt played for the Oakland Oaks, he spent a season and a half with the American Association Milwaukee Brewers and served as player-manager for Fresno Cardinals which started in 1905.
Evidence: In the PCL, he played for the Oakland Oaks (1928–36 and 1948), Hollywood Stars (1938–42) and San Francisco Seals (1943–47). He also spent a season and a half with the American Association Milwaukee Brewers. In 1949, he served as player-manager for the Fresno Cardinals. The team dropped out of the league after that year, but the California League returned in 1905 with the Fresno Tigers, joined late in the season by Fresno native and future hall of famer Frank Chance. When the modern California League was founded in 1941 as a Class "C" minor league, the Fresno Cardinals were a charter member, the others being the Anaheim Aces, Bakersfield Badgers, Merced Bears, Riverside Reds, San Bernardino Stars, Santa Barbara Saints, and Stockton Fliers.
