About
Minor League Baseball is a professional baseball organization below Major League Baseball, constituted of teams affiliated with MLB clubs. It was founded on September 5, 1901, in response to the growing dominance of the National League and American League, as the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues. Minor League Baseball originated as simply the organization of lower tiers of professional baseball in the United States, comprising clubs that lacked the financial means to compete with the National League and later the American League. The association of minor leagues remained independent throughout the early 20th century, protected by agreements with the major leagues to ensure they were compensated when minor-league players were signed by major-league clubs. Later, Minor League Baseball evolved to be constituted entirely of affiliates of larger clubs, giving young prospects a chance to develop their skills before competing in the major leagues. Read more
