Again the Oaks' manager's success resulted in a promotion to the major leagues with Dressen hired to manage the Dodgers in 1951. Former New York Giants star Mel Ott was hired as his replacement. Ott led the Oaks to an 80�88 record in 1951 seventh place and a 104�76 mark in 1952 second place.

The current Sacramento River Cats began play in 2000." "Originally known as the Senators the team was purchased by Branch Rickey in 1935 and renamed the Sacramento Solons. Rickey's close friend and business partner Philip Bartelme served as the Solons' president from 1936 to 1944. The Solons finished first in 1937 but lost the postseason series to the San Diego Padres. In 1942 the Solons won their first � and only � Pacific Coast League pennant. These were the glory years of the Pacific Coast League during which it was unrivaled for the attention of West Coast baseball fans. The Solons drew reasonably well when featured opponents included teams from Los Angeles Hollywood San Francisco and Oakland.

The San Francisco Seals were a minor league baseball team in San Francisco California that played in the Pacific Coast League from 1903 until 1957 before transferring to Phoenix Arizona. They were named for the abundant California sea lion and harbor seal populations in the Bay Area. The 1909 1922 1925 and 1928 Seals were recognized as being among the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time." "In 1945 a controlling interest in the team was purchased by businessman Paul Fagan with the stated intention of bringing Major League Baseball to the west coast by having the Pacific Coast League becoming the nation's third major league. He spent thousands of dollars upgrading Seals Stadium to perceived major league standards. He hired former major league player Lefty O'Doul a native San Franciscan and fan favorite as manager. Though the Seals won the pennant in 1946 subsequent teams under Fagan's watch did not fare as well typically finishing in the second division. Rival clubs did not buy into Fagan's major league ambitions. Rather they established working agreements with major league teams and fared better than did the independent Seals." ; Signed by Collection of Signatures . San Francisco Seals Baseball unknown

ERIE STEVEN P.; KOGAN VLADIMIR & MACKENZIE SCOTT A
Paradise Plundered: Fiscal Crisis And Governance Failures In San Diego
Stanford University Press Palo Alto: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. The early 21st century has not been kind to California's reputation for good government. But the Golden State's governance flaws reflect worrisome national trends with origins in the 1970s and 1980s. Growing voter distrust with government a demand for services but not taxes to pay for them a sharp decline in enlightened leadership and effective civic watchdogs and dysfunctional political institutions have all contributed to the current governance malaise. Until recently San Diego California�America's 8th largest city�seemed immune to such systematic governance disorders. This sunny beach town entered the 1990s proclaiming to be "America's Finest City" but in a few short years its reputation went from "Futureville" to "Enron-by-the-Sea." In this eye-opening and telling narrative Steven P. Erie Vladimir Kogan and Scott A. MacKenzie mix policy analysis political theory and history to explore and explain the unintended but largely predictable failures of governance in San Diego. Using untapped primary sources�interviews with key decision makers and public documents�and benchmarking San Diego with other leading California cities Paradise Plundered examines critical dimensions of San Diego's governance failure: a multi-billion dollar pension deficit; a chronic budget deficit; inadequate city services and infrastructure; grandiose planning initiatives divorced from dire fiscal realities; an insulated downtown redevelopment program plagued by poorly-crafted public-private partnerships; and for the metropolitan region inadequate airport and port facilities a severe underinvestment in firefighting capacity despite destructive wildfires and heightened Mexican border security concerns. Far from a sunny story of paradise and prosperity this account takes stock of an important but understudied city its failed civic leadership and poorly performing institutions policymaking and planning. Though the extent of these failures may place San Diego in a league of its own other cities are experiencing similar challenges and political changes. As such this tale of civic woe offers valuable lessons for urban scholars practitioners and general readers concerned about the future of their own cities. Steven P. Erie is a Professor of Political Science and Director of the Urban Studies and Planning Program University of California San Diego. He is the author of Rainbow's End: Irish Americans and the Dilemmas of Urban Machine Politics 1998 Globalizing L.A.: Trade Infrastructure and Regional Development Stanford 2004 and Beyond 'Chinatown': The Metropolitan Water District Growth and the Environment in Southern California Stanford 2006. Vladimir Kogan is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of California San Diego. Scott A. MacKenzie is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California Davis. "It takes more than scenery to make a successful city�or a solvent state for that matter. Chronicling the near-deliberate dismantlement of San Diego Paradise Plundered relates how a favored city squandered its heritage and thereby set forth a warning to the rest of the nation." �Kevin Starr University of Southern California "Paradise Plundered provides a trenchant analysis of governance and public policy in San Diego over the past two decades. The authors show how weak public institutions and persistent anti-tax sentiment created a grossly underfunded pension system massive structural deficits and a balkanized city. San Diego's fall from grace offers a cautionary tale that is a must read for anyone who cares about effective urban government."�Margaret Weir University of California Berkeley "A landmark expose of how fiscal populism provides camouflage for private greed in America's most badly governed big city. San Diego's celebrated 'public-private partnerships' are unmasked as Ponzi schemes on the road to municipal ruin."�Mike Davis University of California Riverside "Paradise Plundered chronicles San Diego's decline from one of the nation's best governed cities to its current position as poster child for inept city management. Meticulously researched and convincingly argued it is a cautionary tale for any community that demands good government but is unwilling to pay for it."�Joel Rast University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Stanford University Press, Palo Alto: 2011 paperback

EVANS, Charles
New Zealand Himalayan Expedition - 06
Title: New Zealand Himalayan Expedition. Author: Charles Evans Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1955. Pre-Dates Book. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: A brilliant mountaineer, Sir Robert Charles Evans of the elite circle of foremost Himalayan climbers, recounts firsthand a two-fold a most exhilarating and nearly fatal expedition undertaken in the spring of 1954, purposed for a reconnaissance survey the Barun Valley in order to find a westerly route up Mt. Makalu which rises some 12 miles southeast of Everest. The secondary objective was to climb as many other neighbouring mountains as time and conditions would permit... twenty peaks indeed being summitted! The team consisted of now famous names such as Edmund Hillary, Charles Evans, Geoff Harrow, Norman Hardie, Bill Beaven, Colin Todd, George Lowe, Jim McFarlane, Brian Wilkins, and Michael Ball. Evans' notoriety stems from his participation in the first ascent of Everest in 1953, as deputy to its leader, John Hunt, and also from his affiliation with the New Zealand Alpine Club's Edmund Hillary. The expedition was widely publicized upon their return, though reports focused more on Hillary's two narrow escapes from death, the collapse of snow forcing Wilkins and McFarlane into a crevasse, the carefully calculated rescue, and on the injuries sustained. In spite of the extreme tests of survival and endurance, the expedition achieved great results including the exploration of regions previously unknown, and 20 peaks being summited, at least three of these being first ascents. Hardie, Ball, and Wilkins climbed Pethangtse (22,080 ft) and several peaks near it, and crossed over a new 22,000 foot pass to the Imja and Solu Khumbu, but attempts at Makalu itself were hampered by the near fatalities of Jim McFarlane and Brian Wilkins at the head of Barun. On May 30th Todd and Harrow made the first ever ascent of Baruntse by way of the southeast ridge, its height being 7129m, and situated between Everest and Makalu. Also in May, the Pethangtse was climbed for the first time, this one by Michael Ball, Norman Hardie, Brian Wilkins, and a sherpa named Urkien. 8vo. 6 pages text, plus photographic plates and a full page sketch map for illustration. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This preliminary account pre-dates Hillary's book. In 1956, Sir Edmund Hillary and George Lowe published the full account of the expedition, titled "East of Everest - An Account of the New Zealand Alpine Club Himalayan Expedition to the Barun Valley in 1954." In 1956, Sir Edmund Hillary and George Lowe published the full account of the expedition, titled "East of Everest - An Account of the New Zealand Alpine Club Himalayan Expedition to the Barun Valley in 1954." More recently, in 2013 Brian Wilkins published a memoir of his climbs, in part to bring forth what he calls "a more accurate account of the expedition, including its successes" owing to the fact that is was otherwise largely remembered for its injuries and dramatic rescue. Wilkins reminds us that the team "climbed over 20 peaks over 20,000ft (6100m), 23 peaks which hadn't been climbed before and explored a whole lot of areas that hadn't been explored". His book is titled, "Among Secret Beauties - A Memoir of mountaineering in New Zealand and the Himalayas." Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world at 8,485 meters (27,838 ft), located in the Mahalangur Himalayas 19 km (12 mi) southeast of Mount Everest, on the border between Nepal and China. It is an especially difficult peak to summit. In the same season as the above-described reconnaissance, an American team led by William Siri had been granted permission to climb the mountain, but incessant storms prevented success. The summit would be reached for the first time in 1955 when a French expedition managed to get as many as seven of its members to the peak. Sir Robert Charles Evans M.D., DSc, (1918-1995), was a British mountaineer, surgeon, author, educator, and President of the Alpine Club. Evans was John Hunt's deputy leader on the 1953 British Mount Everest Expedition which made the first ascent of Everest in 1953. With Tom Bourdillon, he made the first ascent of the South Summit, coming within three hundred feet of the main summit of Everest on 26 May 1953, but was forced to turn back. Everest was summited by their teammates Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay three days later, on 29 May 1953. Evans was the leader of the expedition which first climbed Kangchenjunga, the world's third highest peak, in 1955.
