Florida State League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (377 words)
The Florida State League is a minor league baseball league which operates in the state of Florida.
Before 2002, it was classified as a "High-A" league, indicating its status as a Class A league with the highest level of competition within that classification, and the fifth step between Rookie ball and the major leagues.
Although Minor League Baseball, the umbrella organization for minor leagues that are affiliated with Major League Baseball, has eliminated the distinction between High-A and other full-season A leagues, most major-league teams still use this league as a standard promotion step.
Georgia-Florida League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (148 words)
The Georgia-Florida League was a low-level circuit in American minor league baseball that existed from 1935 through 1958 (suspending operations during World War II) and in 1962-63.
It was one of many Class D circuits that played in the Southeastern United States during the postwar period - a group that included the Georgia State League, Georgia-Alabama League, Florida State League, Alabama-Florida League and the Alabama State League.
Attendance woes such as that sealed the league's fate; it folded that autumn and has not since been revived.
