  • 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

  • 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 Keokuk Cardinals 1958 – 1961, Midwest League a Class D Farm Club of the St
    The Keokuk Cardinals 1958 – 1961, Midwest League A Class D Farm Club of the St. Louis Cardinals By Steve Smith Keokuk baseball has a long and illustrious history. At its peak in 1960, the small city— located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River in the southeast corner of Iowa—had a population of 16,300. Keokuk’s professional baseball history began in 1875 when the Keokuk Westerns became the State of Iowa’s only major league team. For over three quarters of a century until the Dodgers and Giants moved west in 1957, the City of Keokuk shared with St. Louis the distinction of being one of only two cities west of the Mississippi River to have a major league team. In 1875, the Keokuk Westerns became a member of the then-major league National Association. Keokuk competed with the likes of Boston, Hartford, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, and New Haven. However, the company proved too fast as Keokuk compiled a 1-12 record before it withdrew from the league on June 16, 1875. Over the next 75 years, Keokuk was a member of the Western Association (1885), the Iowa State League (1904-1906), the Central Association (1907-1915), Mississippi Valley League (1929-1933), Western League (1935), the reorganized Central Association (1947- 1949) and Three-I League (1952-57) prior to entering the Midwest League in 1958 as a farm club of the St. Louis Cardinals. Future major leaguers who passed through Keokuk on their way to the major leagues included Charlie Hollocher, Ken O’Dea, Joe Becker, Gus Bell, Roger Maris (32 HRs and 111 RBIs with the 1954 Keokuk Kernels) and Stan Pitula.

  • Charley Pride
    Charley Pride Becoming a trailblazing Country Music superstar was an improbable destiny for Charley Pride, especially considering his humble beginnings as a sharecropper’s son on a cotton farm in Sledge, Mississippi. His unique journey to the top of the music charts includes a tumultuous detour through the world of Negro league, minor league and semi-pro baseball as well as many long years of labor alongside the vulcanic fires of a smelter. But in the end, with boldness, perseverance and undeniable musical talent, he managed to parlay a series of fortuitous encounters with Nashville insiders into an amazing legacy of hit singles and tens of millions in record sales. Growing up, Charley was exposed primarily to Blues, Gospel and Country music. His father inadvertently fostered Charley’s love of Country music by tuning the family’s Philco radio to Nashville’s WSM-AM in order to catch Grand Ole Opry broadcasts. At 14 years of age, Charley purchased his first guitar—a Silvertone from a Sears Roebuck catalog—and taught himself how to play it by listening to the songs that he heard on that radio. By the age of 16, Charley began emerging as a talented baseball player. He first played organized games in the Iowa State League and then professional games in the Negro American League as a pitcher and outfielder for the Memphis Red Sox. In 1953, he signed a contract with the Boise Yankees, the Class C farm team of the New York Yankees. But during that season an injury hampered his pitching. He was first sent to the Yankees' Class D team in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and then released.
