I wear Seals T shirts and caps at Oracle Park more than Giants stuff. That statue is of a sea lion, not a harbor seal. The Seals were misnamed. The there was a one year 1946 Negro League team the Sea Lions in SF with a cub on their shirts.
It's too bad that the Seals and other PCL teams were not given major league status back then, as they were just as good as the NL and AL at that time. Anyway, it also would have been cool if the Giants became the Seals and the Dodgers became the Angels when they moved. Why not? The Senators became the Twins and the expansion Senators became the Rangers.

My late uncle, Neal Sheraton, played for the SF SEALS. He passed away a few years ago ... but in his day, he was Golden.

My Dad Shortstop for the Seals 1950's
what a time it was..
I'm interested in researching the history of The Seals. Does anyone have a link to The Seals theme song or period Seals broadcasts?
