Ranking just below the top major and minor leagues in the first
half of the twentieth century was another group of quality
circuits. The Southern Association, which was formed in 1901 and
had teams in several prominent Southern cities, was part of that
group. In the mid 1930s, league directors decided to make the old
Southern League, which had enjoyed an off-and-on existence since
1885, part of the Southern Association. This work is a complete
history of the Southern Association, beginning with 1885, the year
the Southern League began, and ending with 1961, the year it went
out of business. Each chapter covers one year of the Southern
Association's history and contains an essay describing a team,
player, or trend in that particular year, and a list of teams in
order of winning percentage. Details provided for each team include
its record, winning percentage, the number of games it finished
behind first place, its manager, and a list of its known players,
their positions and statistics. The statistics for hitters include
games played, at bats, runs, hits, RBIs, doubles, triples, home
runs, walks, strikeouts, stolen bases, and batting average.
Pitchers are listed separately and listed in order of games won.
Statistics for pitchers include wins, losses, winning percentage,
games played and started, complete games, shutouts, innings
pitched, hits allowed, walks, strikeouts, and ERAs.
