Semi-pro Baseball Database: Sacramento Valley

"Incidentally, Vincent Stanich, writing a Sacramento bush ball column, sounded the wrong note when he remarked the Valley League's decision to permit each team as many as four outside men will mean that capital winter leaguer's have struck "pay dirt" once again.

None of the valley teams intend to cut the purse strings to get outside talent for the reason that they cannot afford to meet extravagant demands. The old system in vogue a decade ago, wherein top salaries were paid to bring in top pitchers and heavy hitters, cannot be restored. The league rules now ban all forms of outright salary payments, but those winter leaguers who would like to play Sunday ball in the valley, and receive suitable expense allowances, will be accommodated."

"The senior valley loop has long been compared in caliber to class D leagues, although it cannot claim that rating since games are only played once a week."

Valley class B league formed for 23-and-under players.
