Golden State League

The Golden State League is a baseball league that began in 2018 as the Bay Area League and later renamed itself to the Golden State League. Originally based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the league was comprised of 12 teams in the Bay Area and one developmental academy, called the Bay Area Academy (now Golden State Academy A). Through later expansions in 2094, 2100, and 2129, the league expanded into Southern California. With these expansions, the league renamed itself the Golden State League.

2018-2020
The league was founded in 2018 as the Bay Area League, with teams in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, San Jose, Santa Clara, and San Rafael split into subleagues based on their location, with the East Bay, San Jose, and the eastern North Bay teams competing in the Oakland League, and San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Santa Clara competing in the San Francisco League. An inaugural "fantasy" draft was held to determine the teams. The teams played a 100-game season beginning on Memorial Day and the best team from each subleague meeting in the Bay Bridge Series.

In 2018, the Bay Area Bombers roared out to an impressive 71-29 record behind the efforts of left fielder Joe Machi, who led the team in nearly every category, slugging third baseman Rick Bosch, who hit 15 home runs, and the pitching of twin aces Kevin Del Signore and Mike Schwarz. Meanwhile, on the other side of the bay, the Oakland Oaks surged to a 64-36 record with right fielder Marty Van Tassell, who like Machi led the team in nearly every category. The Bombers would capture the series 4-3.

2019 saw the continued dominance of the Bombers, as they would win their second consecutive championship over the Vallejo Admirals 4-2, bringing back most of the same cast as the previous season, while the Admirals won 76 games en route to their first pennant.

In 2020, the Santa Clara Sharks upset first Bay Area and then Vallejo en route to a Bay Bridge Series championship.
