The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, now known as Minor League Baseball, was established in 1901 and is the governing body for minor league baseball in the United States. It was formed by a group of Minor League executives and has since grown to include 35 leagues and 246 clubs. Over the years, the organization has faced challenges such as wars between Major Leagues and the outlaw Federal League, but has managed to restore peace and foster the growth of Minor League Baseball.
Under the leadership of various presidents, including Patrick T. Powers, Michael Sexton, and George M. Trautman, the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues has seen significant expansion and success. It has played a crucial role in the development of players, with notable figures like Jackie Robinson having played in Minor League Baseball before integrating the Major Leagues. The organization's headquarters is currently located in St. Petersburg, Florida, where it continues to oversee the operations and growth of minor league baseball across the country.
