The 'Paint and Putty' Leagues: Industrial Baseball during World War I
2018
Overview
With American troops fighting in France during World War I, the minor leagues collapsed while the major leagues limped toward an early conclusion. Shipyard and steel-mill teams, in contrast, flourished in what were widely called \"paint and putty\" leagues. Every section of the country saw good industrial baseball. The Northeast and Atlantic Seaboard had three leagues, the Northwest and West Coast a total of four, the Great Lakes two, and the Gulf Coast one. A pair of small leagues scattered across remote Southwestern mining towns plus one league in the Midwest brought the total to thirteen circuits, comprising seventy-four teams altogether.
