Golden State League

The Golden State League was an Independent Baseball league that operated in California from 1994 to 1996.

The league had originally targeted eight teams and considered 10-12 potential sites, they were Chico; Fresno; Lodi; Long Beach; Merced; Oceanside; Oxnard; Palm Springs; Redding; Rohnert Park, California; Sacramento; San Luis Obispo; Santa Barbara; St. George, Utah; Yuba City, California; Yuma, Arizona; and Henderson, Nevada.

However, it eventually started play with only four teams. These were the Imperial Valley Brahmas in Brawley, California and El Centro, California; the Antelope Valley Ravens in Lancaster, California and Palmdale, California; the Yuma Desert Dawgs moved to the Western Baseball League the following year (1996); and a traveling team, the Sierra Nevada/Southern Nomadic Miners, represented both Chico and Yuba City. One team was supposed to play in Indio, California as the Indio Lil' Devils, but the city lacked a standard ball park and the team's operations had moved to Yuma. Another failed team, the San Luis Obispo Knights in Paso Robles, California, never surfaced.
