Coast Expo Fransico San West

The great crooner Tony Bennett, in the most famous song about San Francisco, left his heart in this remarkable city. And O. Henry, the famed short-story writer, accurately states: East is East "and West is San Francisco." More than Los Angeles, San Francisco is the epitome of the West Coast, as the city seems to encourage people to "do their own thing." "San Francisco: A Photographic Tour is a visual tour of San Francisco's fabulous landscapes. The beauty of the natural and architectural sights is a large part of what makes this metropolis so unique. Its unusual topography of roller-coaster hills allows breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and its numerous lush parks from almost any location. Visited are the city's most treasured landmarks: the cable cars, the charming Victorian houses, and the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as the Transamerica Corporation building, the pyramidal tower that is a trademark of its skyline. And there are the famed neighborhoods: the elite Nob Hill; kooky and eccentric Haight-Ashbury--epicenter of the hippie counterculture of the 1960's; Fisherman's Wharf with its smells of fresh cooked crabs and hot sourdough bread; North Beach with its kitschy theaters, jazz clubs, and Italian restaurants; and of course, the city's famed Chinatown--the world's largest Chinese community outside Asia--with its narrow alleys, curio shops, and restaurants and dim-sum parlors. These and many more points of interest await the reader. With its dazzling photos by Carol M. Highsmith and lucid text by Ted Landphair, "San Francisco: A Photographic Tour makes an excellent gift for anyone who has visited or wishes to visit what may well be the world's favorite city.

For Six Decades the Pacific Coast League reigned supreme for West Coast baseball fans, launching the careers of future luminaries such as Ted Williams, Ernie Lombardi, Minnie Minoso, and Joe DiMaggio. Until the Dodgers and Giants moved west in 1958, the PCL was "the only game in town" for fans from Seattle to San Diego. The PCL offered something for everyone, from tight pennant races and intense rivalries to great ballparks, stable franchises, dazzling pitching, and spectacular hitting. Salt Lake City shortstop Tony Lazzeri set all-time PCL records for home runs (60), RBIs (222), and runs scored (202) in 1925. His 60 homers occurred two years before Babe Ruth did the same in the majors. Oakland Oaks outfielder Roy Carlyle hit one of the longest home runs in professional baseball history on July 4, 1929. The ball traveled over two rooftops and into the gutter of a house 618 feet away from home plate. The PCL also delighted fans with a host of zany characters. A favorite was Lou "The Mad Russian" Novikoff, who won the Triple Crown in 1940 (batting .343, with 171 RBIs and 41 homers) while playing for the league runner-up Los Angeles Angels - thanks in no small part to his wife, Esther, who could be heard from her box seat behind home plate verbally abusing Lou during each of his appearances at the plate. Another was Hollywood Stars player-manager Bobby Bragan, who was tossed from a game in 1953 against the rival San Diego club after slamming his chest protector to the ground to protest what he considered some bad calls by the umpire. Ordered to pick up his equipment, Bragan refused and instead proceeded to remove his shin guards, mask, glove, and cap. Banished to the dugout, he added hisuniform top, shoes, socks, and a few towels to the pile. Bragan and the Stars survived the ensuing fine and suspension to win the pennant handily. In Runs, Hits, and an Era Paul Zingg's engaging text plays off more than 90 illustrations and Mark Medeiros's anecdotal sidebars.

1934 West Coast Longshore Strike - The 1934 West Coast Longshore Strike lasted eighty-three days, triggered a strike by sailors and a four-day general strike in San Francisco, and led to the unionization of all of the West Coast ports of the United States.

West Coast Conference - The West Coast Conference is an NCAA collegiate athletic conference consisting of eight member schools in California, Oregon, and Washington. It was founded in 1952 by a group of five schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
