Information About

Southern League (baseball)




In 1964 , the South Atlantic League changed its name to the '''Southern League.''' The original "Sally League" (not related to the current South Atlantic League ) was a higher-classification circuit that played from 1904-17, 1919-30, 1936-42 and 1946-63. The old Sally League grew from Class C status to Class B (through 1942), then Class A (until 1962). In its final season, it was elevated to Class AA.

The Southern League is divided into two divisions. Before 2005, the divisions were East and '''West''', but the move of the Greenville Braves to Mississippi after the 2004 season led to a realignment. The divisions are now '''North''' and '''South'''.
