Classifications: Class "A" was the highest classification of minor league from 1902 until 1907. For the 1908 season the Eastern League and the Pacific Coast League moved to the newly established "AA" classification. The Western League chose to stay a class "A" league.
Class A1 was added in 1936 between "A" and "AA". The Southern Association and the Texas League had this classification. This put the Western League on the third tier of minor leagues.
In 1946 class A1 was dropped and class "AAA" was added, leaving the Western League on the third tier of leagues.
