Michigan State League

From BR Bullpen

Jump to: navigation, search

The first Michigan State League ran from 1889-1890.

The name was revived for one season in 1895.

There was a one season class D Michigan State League in 1902.

In 1911 the name was revived when the former West Michigan League expanded. This new class D operation lasted for four seasons before folding.

In mid-season 1926, the class B Michigan-Ontario League and the class C Central League merged to form yet another Michigan State League. It only lasted through the end of that year.

Finally a class C Michigan State League formed in 1940 but ran for just two years.
