Report

The Pacific Coast Pro Football League of 1934-1935 paved the way for the AAA Pacific Coast Pro Football League of 1940-1948, which from 1943-1945 was a Major League Rival to the NFL on the West Coast.

The PCPFL of the 1930s itself could boast AAA status in 1935, when the Los Angeles Maroons, Hollywood Braves & California Shamrocks vied with the Westwood Cubs for the Championship.

The Del Rey / California Shamrocks were clearly marketed to the Irish Community on the West Coast but had little success, failing to win a game in its two seasons. [1]
