The Oakland Oaks were a minor league baseball team in Oakland, California that played in the Pacific Coast League from 1903 through 1955, after which the club transferred to Vancouver, British Columbia. The team was named for the city and used the oak tree and the acorn as its symbols.
Oakland Oaks in The House of Daniel[]
In the 1930s, the Oakland Oaks did their spring training in Fresno rather than in Oakland. Consequently, the Fresno Acorns, against whom the Oaks played in the pre-season, were the best semipro team in Fresno.[1]
