Pennsylvania State Association
Encyclopedia
Running from 1934 through 1942 the Pennsylvania State Association was a class D league. It was based in the southwestern part of the state. The league was usually full of minor league farm teams. During the nine-year run of the league there were eleven cities, all from Pennsylvania, that represented the league. Elmer M. Daily was President of the league the full nine years of its existence. The Butler Yankees
walked off with four of the league's nine championships, winning three titles in a row, 1937, 1938, 1939 and closed out the league with the 1942 Crown. There were at least sixteen known players from the league who managed to make it to the majors. Also, in the league, there were some twenty-one team managers who had been affiliated with a major league team, during their baseball careers.
There was no effort made to re-start the PSA after World War II
and it has been dormant since that time.
