    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball. The group simplified the name to “Minor League Baseball” in 1999. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Patrick Powers, 1901 – 1909 Michael Sexton, 1910 – 1932

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: the Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League
    Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: The Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League by John Valentine A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 John Valentine ii Abstract In 1974, Canada’s Liberal minority government acted to protect the Canadian Football League (CFL) from competition by introducing Bill C-22, which promised harsh penalties for anyone operating a football franchise connected to a foreign-based league or team. This legislation was the culmination of a series of measures by which the government had protected the CFL in the early 1960s and 1970s. A number of factors combined to prompt government involvement. From its earliest days, Canadian football was a nationalist concern. The desire to create a distinctly Canadian pastime led early organizers to differentiate it from English rugby and American football by developing and defending distinctive rules for the game. Football associations developed as domestic rather than cross-border organizations, fostering a congruence of the national territory and the Canadian version of the game. The organizational structure of Canadian football reinforced the east-west axis of transcontinental transportation and communications infrastructure fostered by the state since Confederation. Team and regional rivalries became a staple of print and radio news and commentary, integrating football into the national discourse. Following the Second World War, the identification of Canadian football with the Canadian nation intensified as televised games provided fans with more shared experiences of the only Canadian sports league.

  • Cougars Were Arising, out of Their Bed, While Visions of the Fiesta Bowl Danced in Their Heads
    SPORTS WEEKEND 11/22/02 2:58 AM Page 2 2 | SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2002 SPORTS WEEKEND THE DAILY EVERGREEN ’Twas the day of Apple Cup WSU vs. Washington rivalry evokes “Night Before Christmas”-like expression Hannah Herbig Sports Weekend was the day of the Apple Cup, when all through the Palouse ’Tthe fans were getting ready, missing the game was no excuse. The uniforms were hung, by the closet with care, in hopes that the game soon would be there. The Cougars were arising, out of their bed, while visions of the Fiesta Bowl danced in their heads. And the fans in line, decked out in crimson and gray, bundled up tight, in the cold of the day. When out on Martin Stadium there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my seat to see what was the matter. Away from the bench I flew like a flash, grabbed my spirit sticks and began to bash. The sun glazed on the new-fallen snow, gave the luster of midday to players below. When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but our mighty Cougar Butch, and our players so dear. With the little helmet car, so lively and nice, I knew in a moment it must be coach Price. More rapid than Huskies, his players they came, And he whistled, and shouted and called them by name: Now Gesser, now Trufant! Now Bush, now Darling! On Basler! On Green! On Dunning and Derting! To another first down, to the end of the end zone! The UW Huskies, we will dethrone.
