The Western League of
Professional Baseball Clubs, also
called the Western League, was a minor
league baseball league that operated
from 1885-1899. The original teams,
in 1885 were located in Indianapolis‚
Kansas City‚ Cleveland‚ Milwaukee‚
Toledo and Omaha/Keokuk, Iowa. The
league had a number of failures. The
first reform, was in 1886, and after
partially playing the 1888 season,
ceased operations in 1889. The teams
scheduled to play in the 1889 Western
League were the;
Denver Grizzlies/Mountaineers, Des
Moines Prohibitionists, Milwaukee
Brewers/Creams , Minneapolis Millers,
Omaha Omahogs/Lambs, Sioux City Corn
Huskers, St. Joseph Clay Eaters, and
St. Paul Apostles.
The league was reformed again for the 1892 and 1893 seasons before folding
temporarily again on June 20, 1893. Ban
Johnson who was elected as league
President in 1893, reorganized the
league, and in 1900, the name was
changed to the American League. Johnson
would remain as league President until
his retirement nearly 35 years later.
In 1901 the American League joined the
National League to form the Major
Leagues we know today.
Both the Major League of baseball (National League), and the Western
Association games, are printed in this
1889 schedule, sponsored by the Chicago
Daily News. "The Daily Schedule of
League Games of Base Ball season 1889,"
started on April 24, and runs through
October 5. The Daily Schedule of the
Western Association Games, for the 1889
season, started on April 20, and runs
through September 30, but none of the
games were played.
