Eighty years ago this week the American Association put its first cadre of All-Stars on display. The event took place July 19, 1934 at hitter-friendly Nicollet Park in Minneapolis. Interesting how this anniversary corresponds with MLB's 2014 All-Star game to be played tomorrow night at Target Field in Minneapolis, just a few miles due north of where Nicollet Park once stood. The Millers defeated the All-Stars, 13-6.

  Pitching in the American Association Playoffs, 1933-1962          Welcome Fall! And with fall comes the fall issue of the American Association Almanac .  This issue is another comprehensive treatment of the American Association playoffs which began in 1933.
