History

The Middle Atlantic League played from 1925 through 1951, except for three seasons (1943–45) when the loop suspended operations during World War II. The league primarily featured clubs based in the U.S. states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, although it had a team in Maryland and, in its final season, one in New York. Its longest-tenured team, the Johnstown Johnnies from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, played for 19 seasons. The final champions were the 1951 Niagara Falls Citizens.

Throughout its 24-year history, the Middle Atlantic League was a Class C level, one rung up from the lowest classification, Class D.

Elmer M. Daily was president of the league through 23 years of its existence.
