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.

Beloved Double Play Bar in San Francisco seriously damaged by fireThe historic Double Play Bar and Grill in San Francisco was seriously damaged by a fire early Saturday morning, according to authorities. I’m not a sports fan but I have been in that place & the thought of all that memorabilia being destroyed or damaged is heartbreaking! TG no one around at the time so no one hurt or killed. I hope SFFDPIO & SFPD find out the cause of the fire & hopefully owner might reopen it. Oh no. Great bacon. LeAnnKrzyzanow1 SanBrunoJess BigDaddyZSports
