	'''1931'''--Seals Stadium built at 16th and Bryant. During pioneer days this plot of land had been a land claim called "Home Plate Mine." The site is chosen because of its location in the "warm belt" which is free of fog during the summer. It was considered the finest baseball park in America when finished. The first game was an exhibition contest between the Seals and the Detroit Tigers on March 13. But the Great Depression was beginning to make it difficult for fans to attend, necessitating cutbacks to maintenance and upkeep of the park.		'''1931'''— Seals Stadium built at 16th and Bryant.

	'''1940s'''--Wartime baseball. Roosevelt had encouraged the playing of night games during the war so that working people would have a chance to attend games. But it was felt that ballpark lights created an attractive enemy target. Many players worked during the day, then played ball at night. As a patriotic gesture, the Seals uniforms during the war sported red and blue lettering with a "V" on the sleeve. By 1943 there was a scarcity of materials creating a brief "dead ball' era. Seals homers dropped from 53 in 1942 to 14 in 1944. In 1944 the Seals won the League Championship, now called the "Governor's Cup."		'''1940s'''— Wartime baseball.
