The Central California League was a minor league baseball league that played in the 1910 and 1911 seasons. The Class D level league franchises were based exclusively in California. The league had a multitude of franchise relocations, before it permanently folded during the 1911 season. The 1910 Alameda Alerts and 1911 San Leandro Cherry Pickers captured league championships.
The league franchises were unstable during two seasons of play. The league began play on April 17, 1910, and played through November 6, 1910.[1] Of the eight original teams that started 1910 league play, seven of the eight teams moved during the season, with three teams moving twice or more, while three teams disbanded. In all, 15 different sites were used in the 1910 season, with two cities hosting two different Central California League teams.[2][3] In 1911, two teams moved and two folded before the league permanently folded on July 9, 1911.[4] The league played a full schedule, but only the weekend games counted in the standings.[3]
