context_page_description: The 1904 Tacoma Tigers season was the first season for the Tacoma Tigers baseball team after relocating from Sacramento, California. Playing in the Pacific Coast Conference, the Tigers compiled a 130–94 record and won the pennant.
  The team had been the Sacramento Senators in 1903. Mike Fisher, sometimes spelled Mique Fisher, was the team's owner and manager. In December 1903, Fisher announced he was moving the team to Tacoma, Washington. Fisher said at the time that the team was unable to make money in Sacramento.
  The 1904 PCL season was divided into two parts with a plan to have the leader in the first part play the leader in the second part in a championship series. Tacoma had the best record in the first part of the season. In a controversial decision, one of Tacoma's victories over Portland was disallowed, creating a tie with the Los Angeles Angels for the second part. The Angels and Tigers then met in a championship series in the first half of December 1904. In the 10-game series, Tacoma won five games, Los Angeles won four games, and one game ended in a tie with the game being called due to darkness at the end of the ninth inning.
