2006[edit]

The American Association was founded in October 2005 by four former Northern League teams (the Lincoln Saltdogs, St. Paul Saints, Sioux City Explorers, and Sioux Falls Canaries); these teams were joined by five teams from the Central Baseball League (the Coastal Bend Aviators, El Paso Diablos, Fort Worth Cats, Pensacola Pelicans, and Shreveport Sports) and by an expansion team (the St. Joe Blacksnakes).

The league began play in 2006, with a 96-game schedule. The first All-Star Game was played in El Paso, Texas on July 18th, with the American Association defeating the Can-Am League 5 to 3. At the end of that season, the Cats defeated the Saints three games to two to win the first league championship.

2011[edit]

Four clubs from the disbanded Northern League joined the Association in 2011 - the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, the Gary SouthShore RailCats, the Kansas City T-Bones and the Winnipeg Goldeyes. Another change was caused by the Pensacola Pelicans becoming the Amarillo Sox. As a result, the league now counted 14 teams and decided to split into three geographic divisions, ditching the split-season schedule. Instead, the three division winners and a wild card team took part in the playoffs.

2017[edit]

The Laredo Lemurs folded just before the 2017 season was supposed to start, leaving the league in a quandary. This was resolved by adding a quasi-road team, the Salina Stockade. Salina had played in the Pecos League the previous year but had been left hanging when that circuit shifted geographically leaving it out because of its relative isolation. The team was formed hastily from players not needed by Pecos League teams (an inferior caliber circuit to begin with), before getting some reinforcements later in the season. Still, the stop-gap team was not at all competitive.
