The association had its beginnings in March 1905, when league president Charlie Morton invited six prospective members to a meeting in Akron, Ohio . By the beginning of the 1905 season, the league boasted 11 member teams; and by the end of its seven-year lifespan, in 1912 , the Ohio-Pennsylvania League had enlisted the membership of no less than 40 ball clubs based in over 20 cities. While the Ohio-Pennsylvania League was disorganized (like many of its counterparts), it provided regional sports fans with a seminal framework for minor league competition. Baseball luminaries who were once connected to the league include Hall Of Fame inductees Billy Evans , Everett Scott , and George Sisler .
