There's a dearth of information out there. I was trying to flesh out the stories on both teams and kinda struck out. Hell, when I search 'San Francisco Cubs', all I get are box scores between the SF Giants and the Chicago Cubs.

But I discovered one nugget I found amusing:

West Coast Negro Baseball Association team, The Los Angeles White Sox played in Los Angeles' Wrigley Field. Wrigley, and the Cubs had a large footprint in LA (spring training out on Catalina Island, and all), but why the intentional snub of naming the team after the other Chicago team?
