Eight teams (Chicago Pirates, Boston Reds, Brooklyn Wonders, New York Giants, Philadelphia Athletics, Pittsburgh Burghers, Cleveland Infants, Buffalo Bisons) debuted, packed with NL and AA talent. Out of this onerous climate, the Players League was born.
On top of that, both the NL and the AA had established an individual salary cap, preventing any player from earning more than the equivalent of $50,000 today. The Players League was launched to compete with the National League and, to a lesser extent, the American Association (AA), then a major league.īattles between players and management had existed formally at least back to 1879, when the National League owners silently adopted the Reserve Clause, which evolved quickly into a way for teams to claim ownership of a player for the life of his career.Ī decade after its invention, the Reserve Clause had grown from a novelty “keeper league” concept to a way for NL teams to claim every player in the league as lifetime property. The Players League existed for just one season, in 1890, but was developed in times like these.Īctually, in one aspect, baseball in the late 19th Century was healthier for fans - the antitrust exemption MLB now enjoys did not exist. Seriously, Players League gear is all the rage, and it is available only at our store, so check it out! Oh, you say this feels more like a sticker for your Trapper Keeper or car bumper? Dig it:
However, one of us, not gonna say who, let his frustration spill over, and a few fellow SBN writers thought it might make a nifty T-shirt. You can read more about the Players League below, in the copy for our original PL logo design. While the White Sox remain in the Top Five spenders for the season (they have now fallen to fifth, ahead of all teams but the Dodgers, Mets, Yankees and Padres), celebrate the achievement! Swig your java like a BOSS with this mug that says, MY TEAM SPENDS. Palk Smash Block sticker.Īnd hey, you might have heard, the White Sox are spending this season (oh, trust me, in the intervening years, you’re gonna hear about it from the front office, Sox fans). It had something to do with the 108 tournament, maybe? It’s a funny poem, and it’s hard to ever reject a design that includes the concept of sassy. Hey, this weekend a former White Sox folk hero decided to get a little spicy with White Sox Twitter. Mugs, masks, hoodies - the usual arrangement of goods are available in this new design. Pretty simple, right? Get the guy out of Chicago and give the White Sox a chance to rescue what is shaping up to be a brutally lost season. It’s a popular sentiment, so Adrian Serrano had some inspiration: This new design is on sale now and available in all the usual wearable and non-wearable styles. Well, hey, Adrian Serrano thought to have a Fire Tony T-shirt and only a Fire Tony T-shirt would be like having salt with no pepper, so now, he provides you the matching set: The design is available on hoodies, onesies, mugs, stickers, phone cases, masks, and just about any crazy little thing you’d think to brand. This incredible shirt, along with our entire store, is available at a discount for the next 18 hours or so. #ChangeTheGame /2RFfGA5y4F- Eloy August 16, 2022Ĭueto’s frankness (I mean, if this three-second clip fueled by Johnny and delivered by the delightful Billy Russo doesn’t make you fall in love with our surprise ace, nothing will) inspired our designer, Adrian Serrano. Johnny Cueto: Fuck it, let’s keep competing.
