Category talk:Misc Leagues & Teams

From BR Bullpen

Taking a stab at a category for the semipro and misc.--Pti 09:46, 28 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Would it be better to call this "Independent Leagues"? Or does that name imply minor league? --Pti 09:51, 28 Sep 2005 (EDT)

It implies a certain breed of minor league from the past decade-plus. I don't think many people refer to the 1900 American League, 1940 Mexican League or the 1954 Longhorn League as independent leagues. - Mischa, Sep. 28, 6:50 PM

Well, the leagues category has evolved in the 5+ months since to include those kinds of leagues. Should we thus rename this the Misc Teams category? - --Mischa 20:54, 16 Mar 2006 (EST)

Why are the Canadian Baseball League teams listed here? Isn't this more of a "semi-pro/amateur" teams category. --MichaelEng 21:29, 16 Mar 2006 (EST)

In the Baseball Almanac, the Canadian League was listed under International Ball, not the independent minors, but was that just because of geography, or differetiating this league? --Just me 21:32, 16 Mar 2006 (EST)

The Almanac makes it clear that the CBL did not consider itself an indie league. It has listed other circuits with a strong canadian basis as independent leagues. - --Mischa 21:35, 16 Mar 2006 (EST)

Ok, that makes sense. How about a subcategory of teams Category:International Teams and then [[:Category:National Teams]] as a subcategory of that; such as [[:Category:Canadian Teams]], [[:Category:Italian Teams]], [[:Category:Dutch Teams]], etc. --MichaelEng 21:50, 16 Mar 2006 (EST)
