Baseball Minor Leagues
The Baseball Minor League System is extensive with a variety of classifications and leagues. From the triple A leagues to the short season leagues this section covers all the sanctioned minor leagues. We have also included Independent Leagues, which are not recognized by the current affiliated minor league structure of professional baseball (NAPBL), National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, a relatively new development.
Major League teams are limited to one AAA farm team, one AA team, but can have several Class A and Rookie teams.
The American League and National League consist of 30 teams therefore the two Class AAA Leagues, International and Pacific Coast are limited to a maximum of 30 teams. The Mexican League, Class AAA teams are considered independent but do have many players contracted with Major League Teams.
