  • Minor League Presidents
    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

  • Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Spring 2016
    Somewhere in England Baseball in the European Theater during 1943 Baseball European in the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter—Special Edition Vol. 8 No. 42 Spring 2016 Introduction I’m sure you’ve already noticed that this newsletter is a little different from previous editions. For some time now I’ve been planning on compiling a detailed history of the baseball season played by the US military in Britain in 1943. Why 1943? Well, apart from featuring two major events – an all-professional game in London and the 20-team ETO World Series - it was the only “stable” year for American servicemen in Europe. American military personnel began arriving in 1942, but their numbers were limited, movement was regular and no formal baseball leagues were in operation. In 1944, there were more servicemen in Britain than any other year, but with the invasion of mainland Europe in June, many units were either there for only a brief period of time or on the move to Europe in support of advancing troops. In 1945, the war in Europe came to an end in May, and while it’s true thousands of servicemen remained until at least the end of the summer, many units were shipping back home or to the Pacific immediately after the Nazi surrender. Therefore, 1943, was the only year in which a large number of units had arrived during the preceding winter or spring months and remained until at least the following year. One thing I should point out is that this is not a complete account of every game played by American servicemen during 1943.

Two of these teams, the McCoy-Nolan Giants and Milwaukee Bears, played their home games in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the 1920s. By exploring the untold histories of the McCoy-Nolan Giants and Milwaukee Bears, much can be learned about overarching themes in early-twentieth century Black professional baseball.

  • One Last Pitch Before I Die
    Before Before I Die One Last Pitch One Last Pitch Gary Bedingfield Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Vol. 8 No. 44 July 2016 One Last Pitch Before I Die Baseball had been a way of life for many of those who served in the military during World War II, but for most, it was a distant memory – a fading recollection of summers long since passed – as the rigors of army life and the instinct for survival became all encompassing. So, had baseball figured in the lives of men shortly before they went into combat or even lost their lives in service? Was the grip of horsehide, the scent of glove leather and the perfect balance of a wood bat still fresh in their minds? The answer is yes, and “One Last Pitch Before I Die” recounts those events. From game-day tragedies to week-later combat in Normandy, baseball was not always such a distant memory. On the Home Front Major Serventi Baseball had been Serventi's life. He'd had a taste of pitching in the Pacific Coast League and was proudly serving his country in the uniform of the United States Army while still playing baseball at the weekends. Growing up in Oakland, California, was all about baseball for Marcello L. "Major" Serventi. At the age of 16, he was pitching for Technical High School, the O.K. Batteries sandlot team, the St. Columba team of the Catholic Youth Organization league, and Post 5, the Bay Area American Legion junior baseball champions. It’s not surprising that in the summer of 1934, it was announced that he’d signed with the Oakland Oaks for 1935.

  • What Is the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame?
    Hall of Fame 2017 Watch Welcome to the 24th annual Mid Mon Valley All Sports Hall of Fame Banquet. We are pleased to be returning to St. Spyridon’s Hellenic Center. Our last banquet at this facility was in 1998. Our student honorees, outstanding senior scholar-athletes chosen by their respec- tive Mon Valley high schools, are to be commended on a job well done! It is our privilege to honor you in tonight’s ceremony alongside the athletes who came before you. Most importantly, you represent the future for our communities, Com- monwealth and nation. We recognize the time, energy and dedication that you have demonstrated while participating in high school athletics. In the past decade, upon the recommendation of one of the original contributors to the Mon Valley Sportswriters Hall of Fame, Ron Paglia recommended recognizing WPIAL champions for our area high schools. Since it was so rare to have a Mon Valley High WPIAL winner, it appeared justified. Recently, we have entered a golden age of WPIAL champions. This year we have the privilege to recognize three teams and two individual champions. Our first team Achievement award winner this evening goes to the 2017 WPIAL Class A Monessen Basketball Greyhounds (21-8). Coach Joe Salvino and his se- nior captains Marc Gibson, Jaron Youngblood, Justice Rice, and Jason Altomore will accept the award. This is Coach Salvino’s sixth WPIAL in Monessen’s storied history (1995, 2001, 2002, 2011 and 2015). Previous Monessen basketball titles also occurred in 1919 and 1923. California Area High School Trojans won their fifth overall WPIAL Class AA Baseball championship in 2017 (1983, 2001, 2006 and 2014).
