Talk:Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball

message: I've reorganized the History section and added text to a section "Policies and Practices" that now includes the league's current and former teams.  (I have added a few teams from the era before the league was renamed the Can-Am League, but others remain to be added.)
Am now going to delete the information on the Commonwealth Cup.  This section was obviously last edited (by a loving fan of the victorious but defunct North Shore Spirit) at the end of the 2007 season.  I don't know whether the remaining two Massachusetts franchises played for a Commonwealth Cup in 2008.  If so, it is worth a mention, even though it is essentially not information on the League but on a side bet.  --Spike-from-NH (talk) 12:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I added a bit more to the Former teams and updated other info about teams that moved  (i.e. New Haven's past incarnations).  As far as the history there should be a LOT more in there about the league existing as the Northeast League than just a paragraph or two, perhaps it's own subsection complete with the logo that was removed above n whatnot.  I would do it right now but time constraints restrict me.  (also i'm that "loving fan" of the Spirit in case you were curious)
:Okay, User:Pharos04.  On combining the table entries for Spirit and Mad Dogs, I had them separate to avoid repeating the data on Fraser Field.  I accept your change separating them because it makes each easier to find in alphabetical order.  As for more history about the Northeast League era, I'd welcome you to do so when you find the time.  Realize that the passing of years makes such history less relevant; I've been in a debate elsewhere, with users toying with folding the article on the defunct Nashua Pride into the new article on the American Defenders, about how much Pride history will be lost.
:Ultimately, it falls back on Wikipedia policies, on which I am no expert.  Surely one of those many things that "Wikipedia is not" is a repository for all the information you would like on your favorite team.  And the deletion of the NL logo was solely on the basis of whether Wikipedia was safe in displaying a copy of someone else's trademark (although now defunct).  Someone could have made an effort to rebut the claim that it could not be used. (I am the fan with the Bucket O'Noise with cowbells and slide whistle at Pride and Spirit games.  And I am able to get in touch with the mascot of the same name.)  --Spike-from-NH (talk) 17:37, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: An anonymous user has noted in the article that the Ottawa franchise is back and the spelling is changed to the "original" spelling, "Rapids."  I'm all for this, but how can you call it original when it was called "Rapidz" in its only season so far, the 2008 season?  Moreover, as the article stands now, the team is referred to as "Rapids" even for 2008, then "Rapidz" just once without explanation. --Spike-from-NH (talk) 23:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I know this league has no direct connection to Major League Baseball, but what happens to star players?  Are they signed or drafted by MLB franchises? 12.239.145.114 (talk) 02:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: The Can-Am League is back in 2018 and expect to play in 2019. Six teams plus the Salina Stockade (baseball) in Kansas to make it 7. Next year, 3 other indy baseball leagues will play odd-number league team schedules: the American Association (2010s), Atlantic League and Southwest League (expected to be 6 teams, but only 5 - includes a team in Woodward, Oklahoma yet to be named, they were former member of the Pecos League). 12.218.47.123 (talk) 03:32, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This was a four-and-a-half year old comment. It was referring to the point a few years back where the Can-Am League was down to four teams and it was preliminarily announced that they would merge with their sister league, the American Association, as an eastern division, but ultimately kept heir separate identity and instead used interleague games with the AA to keep going, until new teams (Sussex and Ottawa) joined the league bringing the Can-Am back up to six teams. It has nothing to do with the 2019 schedule. oknazevad (talk) 11:39, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
