Southwest Washington League

From BR Bullpen

The Southwest Washington League, classified as a level D league, opened in 1903 with four teams. In 1906 it shrank to three teams, making it one of the smallest minor leagues ever. It wasn't around anymore by 1907. The league teams played six times a week, but only the weekend games counted.
