In 1900, the Western League’s name changed to the American
League. The following year, the American League became a major league,
without Minneapolis (as well as without several other cities that had teams
in the league in 1900). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perry Werden tied for the American League lead with 9 home runs
in 1900. |
