The Double Play, across from Seals Stadium, was steeped in baseball history.
A popular sports bar in San Francisco’s Mission District was heavily damaged in a fire Saturday.
It was filled with baseball memorabilia and steeped in baseball history, being across the street from the former site of Seals Stadium — home to the Pacific Coast League San Francisco Seals from 1931 to 1957 and to the newly arrived Giants for two seasons before Candlestick Park opened. Those units have been office space since the mid-1980s. A plan submitted last year to the city planning commission proposed converting them back to their original use as residential apartments.
