Synopsis
One of the first minor leagues in history, the Western League (previously the Northwestern League) was founded by Ban Johnson in 1885 and was the predecessor of today's American League. The Western League endured a season to season existence until Johnson created the American League and the Western continued to be a part of the minors, employing such future Hall of Famers as Charles Comiskey, Dizzy Dean, and Connie Mack. The league's demise in the minors came in the 1950s, but it was revived in 1995 as an independent league on the West Coast with no relation to the majors. This work begins with an introduction to the Western League and documents the history of the Western and the American leagues from 1885 through 1999. Included are photographs of teams and players who participated in the league and in-depth team and individual player statistics., One of the first minor leagues in history, the Western League (previously the Northwestern League) was founded by Ban Johnson in 1885 and was the predecessor of today's American League. This volume presents the history of the Western and the American leagues from 1885 to 1998.

- _***a (645)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent and quick shipping sellers who provided excellent and secure packaging! All of the items were just as described in their write-ups and in better than expected condition given the age of all of them. Excellent value and quality and appearance is excellent of all the items. Also, sellers were super easy to work with and because I bought three separate items, they lowered the total shipping costs for me. Thanks again, R&M Thrift and Collectibles!!!

Lovely tray in excellent condition, thrilled with it. Already hanging in my kitchen and matches pine cupboard and other cabinets perfectly. I stayed at the Christian Brothers retreat house and this brings back happy memories. Cost and shipping more than reasonable and arrived sooner than expected. A fine bargain and all around fabulous service. Many thanks!
