Fresno Raisin Growers T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight) - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - California Size:2XL then the CardinalsThe Fresno Raisin Growers, based in Fresno, California, played the 1909 season in the California League, during the era when the circuit operated as an independent "outlaw" league outside Organized Baseball. The name was no invention: Fresno was then, as now, the raisin capital of the world, and the club followed the 1908 Fresno Tigers as the city's entry in the league's final season before it folded under pressure from the Pacific Coast League.
