With no more teams in Canada, does the International League plan to change its name? Mikehillman 13:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
I thought the second-place team from the North was in, not a wild card. Funky on Flames ( user; talk; edits) 23:01, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The Jacksonville Suns, the double-A level Southern League affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers announce to join the IL next year. The Dodgers' affiliation either goes to Pensacola, Florida or Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while the former Reds' AA affiliate Carolina Mudcats merges with the Kinston Indians of the Carolina League. The reshuffling of the teams are part of the Great Recession of 2008-09, but the growth of Minor league baseball in the Southeast US, the states of Florida and North Carolina have the most minor league ballclubs (20?) in the country. 71.102.1.101 ( talk) 08:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I think the Scranton Wilkes-Barre and Columbus clubs have issues with their history. After reading all the Wikipedia pages linked to all incarnations of these franchises, BR Bullpen, an article on Jersey City baseball on MiLB.com, the Columbus Clippers history on their website and the Buffalo Bisons history on their website, I think the history on the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees and the Columbus Clippers pages should be changed. I think the Scranton Wilkes-Barrie club was established as the Reading Coal Barons (article redirects to Reading Phillies) and not as the original Buffalo Bisons. I also think the Columbus club was established as an expansion team in 1977 and are not a relocation of the original Charleston Charlies. I also think there was only one Charlies team and not two. This is based on the websites I looked at that I mentioned in the second sentence. I copied and pasted info on the Bisons 70’s history page (link : [1]) which is right below the paragraph here with the more important sentences highlighted. The sentences highlighted has the history of these ball clubs differently according to Wikipedia:
As according to the Bisons 70’s history page the original Bisons did became the Winnipeg/Peninsula Whips, but they folded instead of relocating and the Memphis team was an expansion team granted by the league which is named after the AA franchise in which today this AA team is now known as the present day Corpus Christi Hooks of the Texas League which it says on that team’s website (link: [2]). For Columbus it says that on the Bisons 70’s history page that the Columbus Clippers replaced the Memphis team. This doesn’t make sense because according to Wikipedia the Clippers franchise was playing in the league at the same time when the Memphis team was in the league. On Wikipedia the Clippers history is linked to the Ottawa Athletics and is being stated that the Columbus Clippers began in Ottawa, relocated to Columbus, relocated to Charleston and relocated back to Columbus. I think the history on the Bisons 70’s history page is more accurate than on Wikipedia. The history on the Scranton Wilkes-Barre and Columbus clubs should be respectfully changed according to how the Bisons conduct their history. According to the history page on the Clippers website (link: [3]), it doesn’t say the Clippers were the Columbus Jets. It just says that the Jets relocated to Charleston. Heres info from the Clippers history page right below the paragraph here with (again) the more important sentences highlighted. The sentences highlighted fits in with the Bisons’ history:
There is also a confusion with the Hollywood Stars as according to Wikipedia that this team relocated to Salt Lake City. I think the Wikipedia way to the Stars relocation is accurate as the definition of working agreement is an informal agreement to work together.
The timeline for the SWB Yankees should be as follows:
The timeline for the Clippers stays the same as it only has Columbus Clippers (1977-Present), but I recommended Columbus Jets should be taken out of the Clippers article. The history for the SWB Yankees was originally set as the team was founded as the
Jersey City Giants, but in the MiLB article it says the Jersey City Giants were formerly the
Albany Senators ( link:
[4]).
Also on the Swedish version of the SWB Yankees Wikipedia page, the history agrees with how I traced the club's origins back to the Reading Coal Barons (link: [5], you have to translate it to English).
I think this is a big improvement not just for these ball clubs, but for Wikipedia in general. The references on Wikipedia articles such as the Charleston Charlies don’t exist anymore. I tried to find replacement references, but I can’t find any. If you can find new references to replace the old references, that would be a great help.
My template skills are woefully lacking. How do I/we update the "Championship wins by team" template on this page to look like the same template on the List of International League champions page? Specifically, the template on this page does not include Durham's recent championship (its 5th) while the other template does. Is there a template shortcut/cheat I am missing? Thanks all.

Given that the International League banned black (and Latino) ballplayers beginning in the 1888 (see the Negro League Baseball's "Professional Baseball" section), this exclusion should be noted in this article. I'm putting the request in the Talk rather than entering it myself because I don't currently have the knowledge or texts to write it properly. Perhaps someone else does?

It states that the Braves have been affiliated with the Gwinnett Stripers since 1965 despite that team being founded in 2009. I don't really understand the logic here, but I didn't want to remove it just in case the Stripers are the continuation of some franchise that there's not information about on wikipedia.
