The modern-day Pacific Coast League is a massive enterprise consisting of 16 teams stretching from Tacoma and Portland in the Pacific Northwest to New Orleans of the deep south. These are the teams our hometown nine will face throughout the long season. You must know the enemy!

The Team: Sacramento River Cats

The Location: Sacramento, California

The MLB Affiliation: Oakland Athletics

The Website: Rivercats.com

The Stadium: Raley Field. Built in 2000, just minutes away from Old Sacramento and the Sacramento River. Considered a lovely, thoroughly modern ballpark that generates huge crowds during the long, hot California summer.

The History: The city of Sacramento was one of the original PCL teams in 1903, but lost the Solons and Senators several times. This most recent incarnation was the Vancouver Canadians, but moved to California's capital in 2000, starting an exodus of Canadian teams.

The Prospects: Daric Barton, Kurt Suzuki
