The American Association was a Minor Baseball League at the Class AAA (Triple-A) level of baseball in the United States from 1902 to 1962 and 1969 to 1997 . Together with the International League , it contested the Junior World Series which determined the best team in minor league baseball. In 1997, the American Association disbanded. The Iowa Cubs , Nashville Sounds , New Orleans Zephyrs , Oklahoma City 89ers (renamed the Oklahoma RedHawks ), and Omaha Royals migrated to the west coast Pacific Coast League starting with the 1998 season. The Buffalo Bisons , Indianapolis Indians , and Louisville Redbirds became part of the International League , also starting in 1998. For most of its existence it was made up of teams from the central part of the US. The Buffalo Bisons were the last league champions in 1997, and they still have the trophy in their possession.
