New York State League

From BR Bullpen

For the independent circuit that began play in 2007, see New York State League (21st century).

The first New York State League in 1885, was actually the second of the many names the International League used before settling on its current moniker.

The second New York State League was a six-team league for one season in 1889. Oneida was expelled from the league on July 12th, and Seneca Falls disbanded on August 19th.

The third and longest running New York State League was a solid league that lasted from 1899 through 1917. The league was classified as a class B league in 1902 when the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues was formed. The loop, which also had teams in Pennsylvania, was also remarkably stable in terms of membership for any minor league of that era. Binghamton and Utica lasted the whole 19-year run.

The name was later revived in 2007 and used by a low-level independent league based around New York City. See New York State League (21st Century).
