    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's Reluctant Challenge: Desegregating Major League

    Journal of Sport History, Vol. 19, No. 2 (Summer, 1992) Baseball’s Reluctant Challenge: Desegregating Major League Spring Training Sites, 1961-1964* Jack E. Davis Doctoral Candidate in History of American Civilization Brandeis University The entire affair made little sense to Bill White, first baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals. “I think about this every minute of the day,” he told a reporter in March of 1961.1 As a professional baseball player, he had visited cities throughout the country, participated in many different social functions, and never once had he caused trouble. He was articulate, educated, personable, and middle-class. “I think I’m a gentleman and can conduct myself properly,” he insisted. Yet White and his black teammates on the Cardinals had been excluded from the invitation list to the St. Petersburg, Florida “Salute to Baseball” breakfast, sponsored annually by the local chamber of commerce. City and team officials maintained they had not intended the breakfast to be a white-only engagement and the team invitations were meant to include all players. But White and the others had not found the invitations so explicit, and they understood by precedent and custom that the protocol of race applied to such affairs. No longer willing to accept excuses for discrimination, White used the incident to publicly condemn the discriminatory racial policies at spring training locations in Florida. “This thing keeps gnawing at my heart,” he stated grimly. “When will we be made to feel like humans?” 2 Whether an oversight or intentional, the exclusion of black players from the 1961 breakfast was consistent with past and existing practices in spring training.

  • Bobby Del Greco

    Bobby Del Greco

    Bobby Del Greco, “Pittsburgh Born & Bred” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com An excellent fielding outfielder who plays 17 seasons in profes- sional baseball, Robert George “Bobby” Del Greco is one of the first players from the highly-touted Pittsburgh Pirates farm sys- tem of the early 1950’s to make it to the major leagues. A native of Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Del Greco plays nine major league seasons with six different teams – Pittsburgh Pirates (1952, 1956), St. Louis Cardinals (1956), Chicago Cubs (1957), New York Yankees (1957-1958), Philadelphia Phillies (1960-61, 1965) and the Kansas City Athletics (1962-1963). Prior to the start of the 1950 season, Pittsburgh Hall of Famer and scout Pie Traynor finds the 17-year-old Del Greco on the sandlots of Pittsburgh and signs him for $500. Less than two years later, Del Greco will start in center field for his hometown Pirates before he turns 19 years old. As a 19-year-old rookie and the National League’s third-youngest player that season, Del Greco makes his major league debut on April 16, 1942, going 3-for-4 with a triple in a 6-to-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Two days later, he again goes 3-for-4 with another triple in his first-ever game at the Pirates’ Forbes Field. On June 9, 1952, Del Greco hits his first major league home run off of Milwaukee starter Jim Wilson in the sixth inning of a 3-to-2 loss to the Braves and becomes one of only 88 players, from 1900 to 2000, to hit a home run in the major leagues prior to his 20th birthday.

Rouleau is probably best known as the film- ing location for the CTV television sitcom “Corner Gas” which ran for six seasons from 2004 to 2009 ... a full-size mock gas station and coffee shop are built on the edge of town, confusing visitors to the town who think the Corner Gas Station and the Ruby Cafe are real businesses. In two seasons (1946-1947) with a woeful Pittsburgh Pirates organization, Bahr is 11-11 with a 3.37 ERA in 46 career appearances for a pair of Steel City teams that are a combined 58 games under .500 (125-183) ... completing eight games in 25 starts, Bahr strikes out 69 in 219 career innings pitched while walking 95.

    George Weiss Was Named Farm Director of the Yankees

    National Baseball Hall of Fame Library George M. Weiss Scrapbooks, 1914-1971. BA SCR 61 v. 1-38 Abstract The George M. Weiss scrapbooks are comprised of 38 chronologically-arranged scrapbooks detailing the career of Weiss as well as a history of the teams that he ran. The first baseball executive voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Weiss is often perceived as an extremely successful, yet cold, callous man. Though the collection does not necessarily dispute this, it does downplay Weiss’ adverse personal side, concentrating instead on his phenomenal success as a baseball executive. The scrapbooks consist of: newspaper and magazine clippings; original and reproduced cartoons; letters, invitations, and greeting cards; telegrams; original and reproduced photographs (color and black and white); box scores; schedules; rosters; team yearbooks, press guides, programs, and scorecards; pamphlets; press releases; brochures; tickets; clubhouse and parking passes; press credential tags; identification buttons, ribbons, and stickers; business cards; radio scripts; menus; and a checkbook. As newspaper clippings make up the bulk of this collection, many prestigious local and national sports columnists are represented in these pages. These writers include Parke Carroll, Bill Corum, Arthur Daley, Dan Daniel, Ben Epstein, Frank Graham, Milton Gross, Barney Kremenko, Dan Parker, Westbrook Pegler, Jimmy Powers, J. Lester Scott, Red Smith, Joe Williams, and Dick Young. The collection, however, consists of far more than just clippings; there is more than a fair share of correspondence, original photographs, and ephemera which was lovingly and carefully collected (possibly by Weiss’ long-time secretary, Betty King). The end result is a detailed chronicle of Weiss and his work.
