Central Baseball League - Definition and Overview

The Central Baseball League, formerly the Texas-Louisiana League, is a minor league whose member teams are independent of any Major League Baseball affiliations. The current commissioner of the league is Miles Wolff.

In 1991, potential owners became frustrated that the Texas League had no plans to expand into other Texas locations, and formed The Texas-Louisiana League. The league began play in 1994. After further expansion into Missouri and Mississippi, the Texas-Louisiana League changed its name to the Central Baseball League. In eight seasons, the league has produced seven different champions. Only Alexandria has won the title twice (1997 and 1998).
