Though nicknames and affiliations shifted, the California League's postwar configuration was largely stable by the late 1950s; four of the six cities in the league in 1960 would still be part of the league 50 years later. The league reached eight clubs in 1966 and would hold that for ten years, briefly dipped to six before wavering between eight and nine clubs in the early eighties, then reached ten in 1986 and held that configuration for thirty-one seasons. From 1996 to 2016, the league had a remarkably stable alignment for Class A baseball, with no teams moving or folding for twenty-one years. After the 2016 season, the Bakersfield Blaze, long dogged by inadequate facilities and unable to negotiate significant repairs, and the High Desert Mavericks, suffering from falling attendance and a lease dispute with the city of Adelanto, were folded; the High-A level replaced them by expanding the Carolina League to ten teams. The start of the 2020 season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic before ultimately being cancelled on June 30. Year by Year list of league champions:   The Los Angeles area, Riverside, San Bernardino, Palm Springs, Yuma (AZ) and Las Vegas (NV) were also major league spring training site cities, as well possessed California League teams on different occasions. Modesto has hosted a California League team longer than any other city, hosting a team in all but two of the CL's 65 seasons. The California League inducted its first class of 15 inductees into its Hall of Fame in 2016. The California League Most Valuable Player Award was established in 1941. The Doug Harvey Award—established in 2010—is for the umpire of the year.
