Pacific Association
The Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs was an independent baseball league based in Northern California. The league was founded in 2013 by four former North American League teams. History. During the initial season, two Hawaii-based teams, the Hawaii Stars and the Maui Warriors, played inter-league games against the Baseball Challenge League of Japan; California teams played against the Freedom Pro League of Arizona. Both Hawaii teams, the Stars and the Warriors, ceased operations after playing the 2013 season citing high travel costs of bringing in opponents from Northern California. The East Bay Lumberjacks also did  not return for a second season. Two expansion clubs were added in 2014 (Sonoma Stompers and Pittsburg Mettle) bringing the total number of teams to four. In 2017 San Francisco businessman and entrepreneur Jonathan Stone was named league commissioner. Expansion came again in 2018 with the addition of Martinez Clippers and Napa Silverados. This brought the league to an all-time high of six member clubs. Before the 2019 season the league lost two teams, Martinez and Pittsburg, which both folded. Salina Stockade were added to the league for 2019 as a travel team. Prior to the 2020 season, San  Rafael left the league for the Pecos League. California Dogecoin was listed as an expansion team on the league website, but after the season was postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic were removed without having played a game. The 2020 season was officially cancelled on July 17, 2020. Later, the California Dogecoin formed the Liberation Professional Baseball League. Sonoma Stompers announced in October 2021 their intentions to join the California Collegiate League for 2022. With no new news from the league's website and social media after the 2020 season cancellation, it is believed that the league has indeed folded. League  timeline. Alumni.
