		This book is really a history of four Western Leagues: the original Western League that became today's American League in 1900; the Class A minor league centered in Nebraska, Iowa, and Oklahoma; the short-lived Class D Western League that grabbed the moniker when the Class A league went under, and today's independent Western Baseball League.
		The original Western League (1888-1899) was populated by teams in larger Midwestern cities: the original Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Blues were part of this league (as were the Davenport Onion Weeders, Des Moines Prohibitionists, St. Joseph Clay Eaters, and Omaha Omahogs).
		When the independent Western Baseball League began operations in 1994, it didn't even pretend to have any historical ties to the Class A Western League: the WBL was purely a West Coast phenomenon.
