A hundred years ago, one of the leading outlaw leagues was the California State League. The league had clubs around the San Francisco Bay Area and the surrounding areas. In 1905 the league had 6 clubs, two from San Francisco and one each from Fresno, Lodi, Stockton and San Jose. On July 2, 1905, the Stockton Poppies hosted the Lodi Melon Rollers at Oak Park in Stockton. The Poppies sent Frank Ferguson to the mound to face Frank Ingalls of the Melon Rollers. The game took 3:26 and 23 innings before the Poppies won the game by a score of 1-0. Both pitchers went all the way.
Tomorrow we look at a team that hit one home run in a 140 game season.
