Formed in 1936, the Padres had already lived a storied life well before their  official creation. Starting as the Sacramento Solons in 1903, they would hop around the West being known by many different names before finally settling as the Hollywood Stars in 1926. Eventually, the Stars could no longer afford their rent which ended up forcing owner Bill Lane to move the team to San Diego.

The Padres had mixed success over their thirty-two years but were able to record four minor league pennants.
