[edit] History
The league was formed in October of 2006. In a press release in October, league Chief Executive Officer Jamie Toole, a former Carolina League executive with a number of teams, cited the desire to field professional baseball teams in municipalities that lacked access to professional baseball.
The league's first (and possibly only) season was documented by the TV show, "Playing for Peanuts."
On March 29, 2008, Sports Illustrated reported that league CEO Jamie Toole had resigned and the league had canceled the 2008 season.SI.com link
