Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
The Seattle Rainiers, also known as the Seattle Indians and Seattle Angels, were a Pacific Coast League baseball team that played in Seattle from 1903 to 1906 and 1919 to 1968. The Indians were bought by Emil Sick in 1938 and re-named the Rainiers as advertising for the Sick family brewery; construction on Sick's Stadium began the following year. The Rainiers won league titles in 1924, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1951, 1955, and 1966.
