History of the SLO Blues
We began in 1946 when founding Manager Sandy Leguina gathered a group of WWII veterans coming home to San Luis Obispo who wanted to play baseball. He added a few younger players and began the season playing against semi-pro and town teams from throughout California. Originally dubbed the “Merchants”, the team name was changed just weeks into the first season. George Baker, local sports editor of the Telegram-Tribune, renamed the team the “Blues” after their blue lettering and blue stockings. He stated that any team worth anything needed a more colorful name, and declared that any objections should be directed to his desk, “else in the future we will” use the new name.
