Four Signed California League Baseballs
Offered here are four Califiornia League Baseball's from 1997. Each ball has several signatures on them, one ball has been signed by the entire team. Three of them are game balls and one of them is new.The California League is a Class A Advanced minor league baseball league which operates throughout the state of California and was founded in 1941. Before 2002, it was classified as a "High-A" league, indicating its status as a Class A league with the highest level of competition within that classification, and the fifth step between Rookie ball and the Major Leagues. Although Minor League Baseball, the umbrella organization for Minor Leagues that are affiliated with Major League Baseball, has eliminated the distinction between High-A and other full-season A leagues, most Major League teams still use such leagues as a standard promotion step. A few draftees, generally early-round draftees with college experience, will be assigned to a High-A team upon signing a professional contract, but generally players will not arrive at this level until their third or fourth year of professional play.
