Lip Man 1 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 November 20, 1893 - The Western League was reorganized after a meeting in Detroit. It was the direct forerunner to what would become the American League in 1900. Byron “Ban” Johnson was elected President. The league started with seven franchises in Detroit, Sioux City, Toledo, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids and Minneapolis. The Minnesota franchise would eventually be moved to the South Side of Chicago by Charles Comiskey and take up play in 1900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
