History [ edit ]
Formed for the 1884 season, the Massachusetts State Association began play on May 1, 1884, as an eight–team league, with teams scheduled for one or two games per week. The league was a Non-Signatory Independent level league under president M. H. Nichols. The league lost four teams during the season, on July 21, 1884.[1] [2] [3]
The Massachusetts State Association played in 1884. The charter members were the Boston Reserves and teams from Holyoke, Massachusetts , Lawrence, Massachusetts , Lynn, Massachusetts , Salem, Massachusetts , Springfield, Massachusetts , Waltham, Massachusetts and Worcester, Massachusetts .[4]
The 1884 Boston Reserves were the first minor league baseball team to play in Boston, Massachusetts . The Reserves were owned and operated by the Boston Beaneaters of the National League and may have been the first true baseball farm team .[5] [4] [6] [7] [8] [9]
On July 21, 1884, the Worcester, Waltham, Lynn and Salem teams all disbanded, leaving the Massachusetts State Association with four remaining teams. The league concluded play on August 15, 1884. The Massachusetts State Association standings were led by first place Springfield with a 12–5 record, 1.0 games ahead of the second place Boston Reserves (13–8), followed by Holyoke (7–11) and Lawrence (7–15). Lynn (4–8), Salem (2–11), Waltham (9–6) and Worcester (11–4) had previously folded.[1] [4] [10]
