	Minor league baseball - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Minor leagues are professional baseball leagues which are at a lower pay level and play in smaller cities and towns than do the major leagues.
		The existence of the minor league system is partly due to major league baseball's ability to include a reserve clause in the contracts with minor league baseball players which gives a major league team exclusive rights to a player even after the contract has expired.
		The first league recognized as minor was the Northwestern League, which in 1883 entered into an agreement with the two major leagues at the time (the National League and the American Association), under which it would have a lower salary limit than the other two leagues.
