- catalog abstract ""In the 1990s, big business and nasty labor disputes loomed large over major league baseball - but the traditional idea of playing for the love of the game has never been forgotten, even at the professional level. Independent professional baseball teams and leagues sprang up in many areas." "This history and analysis traces the emergence of independent leagues and teams and follows them year by year. It profiles in detail one team from each of the leagues operating in 1999: the Bridgeport (Connecticut) Blue Fish of the Atlantic League, the Kalamazoo (Michigan) Kodiaks of the Frontier League, the Tri-City (Washington) Posse of the Western League, the Ozark (Missouri) Mountain Ducks of the Texas-Louisiana League, and the Duluth-Superior (Minnesota) Dukes of the Northern League West.
