WASECA County News (Ring) p. 8 Confident Randy Rosario wants to show Twins he's ready for the majors La Velle E. Neal III | Star Tribune | June 6, 2017 ANAHEIM, CALIF. – Although he began the season touring the Southern League, Randy Rosario believed he was major league material. “I was ready for it,” the 23-year-old, newly recalled Twins lefthander said. “I was waiting for it. I was saying to myself, ‘Randy, just be ready for it.’ ” Confidence is one characteristic that jumps out with Rosario. He is bright, has worked hard to learn English and made a quick transition to the bullpen after making 55 starts in the minors from the time he was signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2010 until the middle of last season. It also helps to have a fastball that can reach 94 miles per hour and a wipeout slider. That will give you confidence, too — and encourage a team like the Twins to give a Class AA pitcher a chance in the majors.

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.

Eberle Edward Dundon (1859–1893) played baseball in 1883 and 1884 for the Columbus Buckeyes of the American Association, a major league at the time. William Hoy (1862– 1961) was a major league outfielder from 1888 through 1902 for teams in the National League, Players League, American Association, and American League. Luther Taylor (1875–1958) pitched in the major leagues for the New York Giants (now the San Francisco Giants) from 1900 through 1908, and he played briefly for the Cleveland Bronchos (now the Cleveland Indians) in 1902. Monroe Ingram (1865?–1944) was a black ballplayer, so he was limited to pitching for an integrated minor league team in Emporia, Kansas in 1896 and 1897. In addition to having professional baseball careers in common, all four men were deaf.

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.

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

  • A Brief History of Professional Baseball in Ardmore, Oklahoma, After World War Ii
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL IN ARDMORE, OKLAHOMA, AFTER WORLD WAR II Peter G Pierce, III Norman, Oklahoma March, 2005 I The Sooner State League Minor league baseball enjoyed a resurgence following the return of the GIs after the Japanese surrender. People had money to spend, leisure time, not many recreational alternatives on warm summer days and, especially important for the minor, nights. Night baseball was pioneered by the barnstorming Kansas City Monarchs of the negro leagues who carried their lighting with them. By 1947, night games were the norm for the minor leagues. Leagues sprang up with teams in every state. The baseball boom peaked in 1949 with 59 leagues in 438 cities. Attendance totaled nearly 42,000,000. Oklahoma was no exception. The Sooner State League, a Class D league, began its ten year life in 1947 with the Lawton Giants, Ada Herefords, McAlester Rockets, Ardmore Indians, Seminole Oilers, and Duncan Cementers playing a 140 game season. Only Ardmore (Cleveland) and Ada (St Louis Browns) had major league farm agreements. The rest were independents that scouted, signed, played, and sold local baseball talent. McAlester defeated Ardmore 4-1 to win the first pennant. The Indians ended a twenty year absence of professional baseball in Ardmore. Following a brief Texas League appearance in 1904 as the “Territorians,” Ardmore had been represented by D league (the lowest class of organized baseball) teams through the teens and twenties in the Texas- Oklahoma, Western Association, and Oklahoma State Leagues. Ardmore was the only franchise to remain in the same city for the league’s ten year life.
