1965 Pacific Coast League season
From BR Bullpen
The 1965 Pacific Coast League season was the 63rd in the league's history, and ended with the Oklahoma City 89ers winning their second league championship in three years.
The Athletics put their Triple-A affiliate in Vancouver, resurrecting the Vancouver Mounties.
This was the final season in the PCL for the Arkansas Travelers. The Giants would move their Triple-A affiliate from Tacoma to Phoenix and the Cubs moved theirs from Salt Lake City to Tacoma after the season.
