    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

  • Mobile Baseball, 1951-1962
    Transcribed Pages from the Charles Dickson Papers Box 3 Folder 5: Mobile Baseball 1951-1962 356. Mobile Register April 4 – 1951 Boston Braves vs. Brooklyn Dodgers In the only major league exhibition game carded at Mobile this season, the two National League clubs waged a three-hour-and-five-minute marathon that saw 18 hits, 18 runs, three errors, and 20 free tickets to first by a battery of nine pitchers. The final result of the game was a score of 10 to 8 in favor of “Lippy” Leo Durocher’s Brooklyn Dodgers against Billy Southworth’s Boston Braves. The Mobile fans had the pleasure of seeing Eddie Stanky in action on second base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. (TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: SEVERAL INDEPENDENT SOURCES CONFIRMED THAT DUROCHER WAS NOT THE MANAGER OF THE DODGERS IN 1951; THE DODGERS WERE MANAGED BY CHUCK DRESSEN. DUROCHER WAS THEN MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS) Clyde King King’s contract purchased from Montreal could help the Brooklyn Dodgers considerably. Clyde King is not exactly a newcomer to the Dodgers. He appeared on the team as a left- handed pitcher in 1944, 1945, and 1949, but lacked the required speed. He’s smart, though, and has control. King formerly played with the Mobile Bears. April 5 – 1951 John Hall Hall will be back with the Mobile Bears during the 1951 season after three seasons. Few fans realize that in the fall of 1947, Branch Rickey could have sold Hall for exactly $100,000. That was the offering price of the young rookie who came out of nowhere to set the Southern Assn.

  • Cy Neighbors ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Cups of Coffee: Cy Neighbors ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On April 29, 1908, Pittsburgh Pirates’ rookie Cy Neighbors makes his major league debut Cy Neighbors Major League Debut replacing future Hall of Famer Fred Clarke in left field in the bottom of the ninth inning in April 29, 1908 the Bucs’ 2-to-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. For the 27-year-old Neighbors, known for his size four shoe, that half inning in Chicago’s West Side Grounds will be his only appearance in a major league game. The Fayetteville, Missouri, native begins his professional baseball career in 1905 with the Duluth White Sox of the Northern (D) League,. He hits .295 in 84 games for the White Sox before having his contract purchased in early August by the Toledo Mud Hens of the American (AA) Association where he hits .286 in 27 games. A year later, playing for the Burlington Pathfinders, Neighbors captures his only league batting title pacing the Iowa State (D) League in both hitting (.320) and runs scored (96). Over his next 12 seasons, Neighbors will hit .300 or better on six occasions, including a career-high .333 mark in 1910 with the Sioux City Packers. During Pittsburgh’s 1908 spring training camp in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Neighbors devel- ops a bad case of blood poisoning and comes close to having his right hand amputated. Expected to make the Pirates’ opening day roster, Neighbors’ play was apparently less than sterling as evidenced by this article in the May 9, 1908, edition of The Sporting Life. “The young man so admired by Southern correspondents, has not displayed talent up to the liking of the local management.

The New York Yankees, Philadelphia/Oakland Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals have won many. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and San Francisco Giants endured decades-long dry spells before they finally won the orldW Series. Even expansion teams like the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, and Florida Marlins have won multiple championships. Other expansion teams like the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers have been to the Fall Classic multiple times, although they did not win. Then we have the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have not been to a World Series since 1945, and have not won one since 1908.
