Particularly during the early years of the league, the ABL featured a number of local veteran players who had already established their credentials and were household names from the Claxton Shield era.
Major leaguer Graeme Lloyd has the honour of best ERA in ABL history with his 2.34, however, the ABL did not see as much of him as we would have liked as he pitched only 250 innings.
In some instances local baseball associations viewed the ABL as an unwanted “dilution of their powers” and some officials did not have the foresight to help establish the league as a most important bridge between local amateur baseball and the professional baseball world.

American League President Will Harridge was not laughing and, virtually before the sun had set on August 19, he had not only banned Gaedel from the American League (actually, his free agent signing was “voided” on August 21), but also ordered that his stats be stricken from the sacred record books of baseball.
Although there was a rumor going around that Major League Baseball had rolled back the clock and signed an exclusive contract with Topps for 2006 (which is the deal Topps used to have, say in 1966), that is most certainly not true, says Taylor.
