Middle Atlantic League

Information about Middle Atlantic League

The Middle Atlantic League was a lower-level circuit in American minor league baseball that played during the second quarter of the 20th century.

The Middle Atlantic League played from 1925 through 1951, with the exception of three seasons (1943-45) when the loop suspended operations during World War II. The MAL primarily featured clubs based in the U.S. states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, although it had a team in Maryland and, in its final season, one in New York. Its longest-tenured team, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania - the Johnnies - existed for 19 seasons. Its final champion was the 1951 Erie Sailors, an affiliate of the Washington Senators.

Throughout its 24-year history, the MAL was a Class C league, one rung up from the lowest classification, Class D.

Elmer M. Daily was president of the MAL through all 25 years of its existence.
