Team History[edit]
The Sacramento River Cats, of the Pacific Coast League and briefly in Triple-A West, had a remarkable run as the Oakland Athletics' top farm team from 2000 through 2014. The now-San Francisco Giants farmhands play their home games at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, CA.
Under Oakland, the Cats won an unprecedented six straight division titles, 11 of their first 12, back-to-back PCL crowns two different times, the first back-to-back Triple-A championships ever - and led all of minor league baseball in attendance their first eight seasons.
In 2014, Forbes magazine ranked this the most valuable ball club in the minors, yet the next year the River Cats and Giants dumped Oakland and the Fresno Grizzlies for each other.
The Cats play Copa de la Diversión Hispanic engagement campaign games as Sacramento Dorados (Sacramento Goldens, in reference to Sacramento's status as the center of the 1849 California Gold Rush).
