Especially in the first part of the 20th century, there were so many minor league teams that would start off the season and then blinker out of existence by the second month. There must be scores of teams for which nothing more than a few dozen newspaper articles exist.

Baseball Reference has the standings of dozens of leagues during those times, yet hardly any statistics. And sometimes there aren't even standings, although I guess at least there's chance some exist on microfiche in some mid-size city's library.

I'd love to run across something from the Aberdeen Black Cats or Bremerton Bluejackets. I just know that it's not happening.
