Sakas was then assigned to Hammer Field, a 4th Air Force training base, near Fresno, California. From there he was relocated to Ephrata Army Air Base in Washington, where he coached the baseball team. As the war progressed, every able- bodied man was needed for overseas service and Sakas quickly found himself in the infantry. “We had a warrant officer who tried out for the baseball team,” says Sakas. “He didn’t make the grade and I cut him from the team, but he really got me back when he sent me to the Army. That was the dumbest cut I ever made!” Heading for Europe Sakas was soon on his way to Europe aboard the Queen Elizabeth. He was briefly attached to a replacement depot in England before Steve Sakas (right) with the Lubbock Hubbers of the West Texas-New Mexico League in 1941. being assigned to the 119th Infantry On the left is first baseman Kauzlerich.

Not only did Sakas find himself in the thick of the Battle of Bulge but he also found out that he was the new bazooka man, even though he’d never fired a bazooka in his life! “Do you know what beat the Germans?” Sakas asked. “The thought of this crazy Greek coming at ‘em with a bazooka!” Sakas was with the 30th Division as they crossed the Rhine, then the Ruhr, and captured Magdeburg on the Elbe River on 17 April, 1945, where they were forced to wait to allow the Russians to be the first in to Berlin. Playing Ball in Germany Following the German surrender, Sakas got back to doing what he did best, organizing sports and recreation for the troops, which included a softball team. One day, Colonel Stewart asked Sakas if he could put together a baseball team. Another division had a hot team that included Billy Johnson of the Yankees and were looking games. Sakas told the Colonel he didn’t have any baseball players but he’d do his best. He held tryouts among his softball players and selected the best, including the company cook, who became the team’s catcher and always ensured Sakas had the best steak whenever he wanted. The next step was to find somewhere to play. Sakas requisitioned a large mansion house and grounds in the German town of Schleiz, assuring the family that his players would take Steve Sakas (right) at Gray Field, Fort Lewis, Washington with Herm Reich.

INTRODUCTION What is professional baseball? It is difficult to answer this ques- tion without using a value-laden term which, in effect, tells us more about the speaker than about the subject. Professional baseball may be described as a "sport,"' our "national pastime,"2 or a "busi- ness."3 Use of these descriptors reveals the speaker's judgment as to the relative importance of professional baseball to American soci- ety. Indeed, all of the aforementioned terms are partially accurate descriptors of professional baseball.

    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
