The Seattle Yannigans/Rainmakers were a Minor League Baseball team in the New Pacific League. They were based in Seattle, Washington and lasted only one season, folding along with the league in June 1896.[1][2] League play was greatly affected by spring rain, which led to cancellations and poor revenues for owners.[3] The Portland Gladiators folded first, which led to the league disbanding. Seattle's owners stated they were bringing in east coast players, though the Tacoma Daily Ledger reported Seattle's owners were starting to drop support for their team, as well.[1][2]

Seattle played at YMCA Field, which was improved prior to the start of the season. Sunday games were played at Madison Park.[4][5] Seattle finished in last place out of four teams.[6]
