American League (minors)
From BR Bullpen
The American League was originally known as the Western League from 1894 to 1899. The league was reorganized and renamed by Ban Johnson in 1900 and played as a minor league that year. Its intention, however, was to compete with the National League, and did so in 1901. For history from 1901 to the present, see American League.
