Fresno Raisin Eaters




A crowd of 2,500 (considered large by the standards of the day) greeted the Raisin Eaters for their home opener against the Portland Beavers , which Portland won, 1-0. That was the high-water mark of the season, as fan support eroded as a result of the team's poor play.

The Raisin Eaters finished dead last in the six-team league, with a record of 64-117 (.353). The one-year wonders dropped out of the PCL after that year, returned to Sacramento, and re-entered the League in 1909 as the Sacramento Solons once more.

Although Fresno would field teams in the California State League and the California League in subsequent years (most notably the Fresno Cardinals , the Pacific Coast League would not return to Fresno for another 92 years, when the Fresno Grizzlies were admitted to the league in 1998.
