History
Minor league baseball play was first hosted in Hanford, California in 1911, when the Hanford "Braves" team became members of the six–team Class D level San Joaquin Valley League during the season. The Coalinga Tigers, Lemoore Cubs, Porterville Orange Pickers, Tulare Merchants and Visalia Colts joined Hanford in 1911 San Joaquin Valley League play.[1][2]
The 1911 San Joaquin Valley League began their second season of play on April 16, 1911, expanding from four teams to six teams, with the Hanford Braves being a new league franchise. The San Joaquin Valley League permanently folded during the 1911 season. On July 18, 1911, the Hanford Braves were in fourth place when the San Joaquin Valley League folded. The league folded after the Tulare and Porterville franchises had disbanded on July 11, 1911. Hanford ended the season with an overall record of 6–7. Playing under manager Sidney Jehl, the Braves finished 3.0 games behind the first place Tulare Merchants in the San Joaquin Valley League final standings.[3][4][5]
The overall 1911 San Joaquin Valley League standings were led by the Tulare Merchants (9–4), followed by the Coalinga Tigers (8–6), Lemoore Cubs (7–6), Hanford Braves (6–7), Visalia Colts (5–8) and Porterville Orange Pickers (5–8).[6][3]
After the San Joaquin Valley League folded, a Hanford team reportedly continued play in 1911 as a semi–professional team. The reformed Hanford team was noted to be under the direction of Frank Blakeley with Oscar Jones on the roster. Jones had played with the Lemoore Cubs during San Joaquin Valley League play.[7]
Hanford, California has not hosted another minor league team.[3][8]
