Edmonds Field

Edmonds Field was home to the Sacramento Solons, the Pacific Coast League AAA team from 1910 through 1960, after which they moved to Hawaii.

After some exhibition games, the Sacramento Senators opened the park to regular-season Pacific Coast League play on March 30, thumping the Oakland Oaks 18-2.

Local sports editor Dick Edmonds championed their cause, raising enough money to stabilize the ball club.

The one piece remaining from the older structure was a small, covered bleacher section in the left field corner, which had escaped destruction due to a gap between it and the main stand.

On April 12, 1964, prior to it being demolished to make way for a Gemco discount store, the last baseball game played there was an exhibition match between the San Francisco Giants and the Cleveland Indians.
