  • 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

Frank Baum, the Hub City Nine, and Baseball on the Prairie Michael Patrick Hearn On the morning of 14 May 1889, a group of ambitious young businessmen met at the Hagerty and Paulliamus real estate office to look into the possibility of establishing a local professional baseball team in Aberdeen, Brown County, Dakota Territory, Times were good, and these local heavy hitters were seeking another means of boosting their community. "Nothing creates enthusiasm like base ball/' admitted the Aberdeen Daily News the next day, "and nothing will draw a crowd so continuously as the national game closely contested and honorably played. The enthusiasts from all over the country come in to see the sport, every man of whom contributes his mite towards the car- rying on of nearly all kinds of business. It makes lively times, it advertises the town, it brings people to the city and in many ways stimulates and fosters business."'
