Book Description
From 1884 to 1953, the International League enjoyed a measure of stability that was the envy of many other minor leagues. With franchises located in cities along the East Coast and Canada-including Newark, Toronto, Baltimore, Montreal, and Providence-the circuit produced a brand of baseball that was only a bit below that of the majors. This is the complete, year-by-year, team-by-team statistical history of the first 70 years of the International League. For each season, there is a brief essay that covers the league's highlights and its champion. Rosters for each team are then provided, with complete statistics for all players.
