Download a PDF edition of San Diego Padres — The Westgate Years: 1958-1968
In 1997, the San Diego Padres and San Diego Baseball Historical Society published the first two volumes of a trilogy about the Padres of the Pacific Coast League, written by SDBHS founder Ray Brandes. They were known as the Lane Field Years: 1936-1946 (Volume I) and 1947-1957 (Volume II.) Remarkably, these books became expensive collectors items.
Volume III, The Westgate Years: 1958-1968, was completed in 1998, but never published. SABR’s Ted Williams Chapter recently digitized this volume and has made it available as a free PDF download for all SABR members.
