Cotton States Baseball League – Coastal Division Cotton States Baseball League – Coastal Division Building on the outstanding successes of the past 12 years in New Albany, MS, the Cotton States League is excited to announce our expansion to Biloxi in June and July of 2021. We will be offering an opportunity for up to 150 collegiate players to play for 6–8 teams in a very competitive wood bat league. Games will be played at MGM Park, Biloxi High School and A.J. Holloway Sports Complex on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Sunday afternoon, and Monday night (three games per weekend). The regular season includes 20 scheduled games per team with a League Championship Series (LCS) beginning on Friday, July 23rd and concluding with the LCS Championship Game on Sunday, July 25th. Teams will have a roster of 12 positions players and six pitchers only. Coaching staffs are assembled and the website is updated. All registration is done on-line at www.cottonstatesleague.com. Games are scheduled to begin June 4th. Wood bats, two uniforms (with home and away jerseys and a hat) will be provided. Stats will be posted at the conclusion of each day’s games and can be found on the Cotton States web site. A local radio partner is being sought for a Sunday afternoon “Game of the Week.” The Cotton States League was originally founded on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1902 as a minor league for Major League Baseball. The League has been in and out of existence in the South over the past 119 years being having been shut down due to wars, pandemics and depressions. However, since 2009 the Cotton States Baseball League – North has been a successful wood bat league in North Mississippi having college players participate from all over the United States. It is with great pride and enthusiasm that the Cotton States Baseball League - Coastal is coming back to home to the Mississippi Gulf Coast!

  • 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

  • General Admission
    General Admission Professional Baseball in Louisiana by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research Baseball has been played since the 1850’s throughout Louisiana, but it was not until 1887 that the New Orleans Pelicans became the state’s first professional baseball club. New Orleans still hosts a professional baseball team – the Zephyrs of the AAA Pacific Coast League. But New Orleans is not the only city to sponsor professional baseball. In fact, twenty cities throughout Louisiana have hosted professional teams over the years. They played in a total of fourteen different leagues covering the spectrum from independent leagues to Class AAA. In 1895 Shreveport became the state’s second city to promote professional baseball when the Shreveport Grays took the field in the Texas-Southern League. Although they finished in fourth place and disbanded in early August before the season finished, Shreveport would become a major hub of professional baseball and remains so today with the Shreveport Sports of the Class AA American Association. Baton Rouge became the state’s third city to have a professional baseball franchise when the Baton Rouge Cajuns in the Cotton States League finished the 1903 season 53 – 54 (.495) in second place, just 2-1/2 games behind the Natchez Indians. From the six teams that made up the Louisiana State League which operated for a single season in 1920, to the Dixie League which operated between 1933 and 1935, to the better known Cotton States League, the Evangeline League, and the Southern League (later reformed as the Southern Association), cities across Louisiana fielded teams and captured their share of league championships.

By LOU PAVLOVICH, JR. Editor/Collegiate Baseball NDIANAPOLIS — A powerful addition to the Fight Rule by the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee has been put on Ihold by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel. While the panel supports putting more teeth into the rule, members had questions about a recommendation that would have ejected any team personnel, other than coaches, who left their field positions, the dugouts or the bullpens at the time of an altercation. Those players or team personnel would be suspended from the team’s next game. Panel members would like to have more clarification about the proposal, particularly about players leaving their positions on the field. The proposed rule reads: “Any team personnel, other than coaches, who leave their positions, the dugouts or bullpens at the time of an altercation, will be ejected and suspended from the team’s next game.” Ben Brownlee, NCAA staff liaison to the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee, was asked to define the word See NEW FIGHT RULE PACKS, Page 2 The new passage to NCAA Fight Rule requires players not to leave positions.

Two teams - Texarkana and Waco - disband on July 7, shrinking the league to four teams. Texarkana is first granted a franchise at the beginning of a league meeting in January, only to be dropped at the end of the meeting, in favor of Corsicana. In addition, Texarkana is nicknamed “Casketmakers” in honor of the town’s largest industry. Not a good omen. A record-setting 51-3 game between Corsicana and Texarkana takes place in a town not even in the league and is highlighted by an eight-home run performance by a “Nig” Clarke, a 5-foot-8 left-handed hitting catcher from Canada, on a field with a very short right field fence.
