Turn of the century minor league info?
 

Posted By: <b>effe</b><p>Hi,<BR>I recently picked a 1900 Milwaukee v. Kansas City program and I'd like to do some research on the players. Can someone suggest a good reference guide? I believe this was an American Association game, but I may be wrong on that.<BR>Thanks,<BR>John
