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 -

However, we have found that many members no longer want to travel to the functions. Attendance had decreased dramatically. All functions are self sustaining, i.e. no RNPA funds are used, all expenses are covered by the attendees. Currently there are no dues to belong to RNPA. We have monies in our treasury to cover what expenses we have. I would like to remind/ask each of you to consider attending the RNPA Reunion to be held in Louisville, May 7-9.

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. -
