Growing tired of the lack of quality summer collegiate teams on the Peninsula, Doug Price and Marc Caviglia joined forces to form the San Francisco Seagulls Baseball Club before the start of the 2005 season. The San Francisco Seagulls are a Summer Collegiate/Semi-Pro Baseball team that brings top talent from around the nation to the Bay Area, California. In it’s existence the Seagulls have traveled California and into Nevada to make sure they are playing comparable competition.
After operating as in independent team for the first five years the Seagulls have joined the Pacific West Baseball League (PWBL) in 2010.
About the Pacific West Baseball League (PWBL)
The focus of the PWBL is to bring minor league style baseball to mid-sized communities throughout the West while featuring affordable family entertainment.
