Major Leagues: The Formation, Sometimes Absorption and Mostly Inevitable Demise of 18 Professional Baseball Organizations, 1871 to Present New edition

New major leagues have sprung up throughout the history of baseball, both long-term successes (the American and National leagues), and the transitory, of which the Federal League (1914-15) and the Mexican League (1946) were two. This work presents their history, with an analysis of the conditions that determined their success or failure.
