  • Nothing Minor About It the American Association/AFL of 1936-50
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 2 (1990) Nothing minor about it The American Association/AFL of 1936-50 By Bob Gill Try as I might, I can’t seem to mention the era before World War II without calling it “the heyday of pro football’s minor leagues.” But it’s not just an idle comment. In the 1930s several flourishing regional “circuits” of independent teams coalesced into outstanding minor leagues. From today’s perspective, one of the least likely locales for such a circuit was the New York-New Jersey area, where fans had the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers to satisfy their hunger for pro football. Despite that, the area produced the best of all the pre-war minor leagues: the American Association (soon to be immortalized in another best-selling PFRA publication). The AA was formed in June 1936, in response to a proposal by Edwin (Piggy) Simandl, manager of the Orange Tornadoes. Charter members were Brooklyn, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, Orange, Passaic, Paterson, Staten Island and White Plains. Several of these cities had been represented in two earlier leagues, the 1932 Eastern League and the 1933 Interstate League, both of which failed after a single season. However, those leagues didn’t have Joe Rosentover as president. Despite the early demise of his own Passaic club, Rosentover remained at the helm of the league for its whole existence. The AA’s first season was somewhat like that of its main rival, the Dixie League, which also opened for business in 1936. No team established any clear superiority, and at the end of November Rosentover announced a playoff series matching the top four teams, two each from what the newspapers sometimes called the New York group and the New Jersey group.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
