Series Description
This subseries dates from 1896 to 1977 and features music about the League's teams and players. It is arranged alphabetically by team name with music about the League as a whole arranged to the front. Music in this subseries primarily dates from the first half of the 20th century and provides extensive documentary and illustrative resources for the history of the American League.
