The San Jose Missions were a minor league baseball team which played in the Pacific Coast League in 1977 and 1978. The team had been known as the Sacramento Solons prior to 1977, and played its home games in a football stadium there. Hoping to persuade Sacramento officials to provide a baseball facility for the Solons, the owners "leased" the team to San Jose for two seasons while negotiations were under way. After two seasons of dismal attendance in San Jose, and with no progress made on the stadium issue, the team was sold and moved to Ogden, Utah for the 1979 season.
