Triple-A World Series

The first Triple-A World Series was held in 1983 and was a round robin tournament featuring the champions of each of the AAA (Triple-A) Level minor leagues of Major League Baseball, the International League, the American Association, and the Pacific Coast League.

This was a one-time event, however, and there was not another post-season meeting of these minor leagues until 1988-1991 when the International League and the American Association held the Triple-A Classic.

More recently, a revived Triple-A World Series was held from 1998-2000 between the International League and the Pacific Coast League, matching Triple-A Baseball's two league champions in a best-of-five series to determine the true Triple-A Champion. The Triple-A World Series, played at beautiful Cashman Field in Las Vegas, Nevada during the third week of September, was televised live worldwide on ESPN2. The event was a sponsorship success, with companies such as the Las Vegas Convention & Visitor's Authority, The Money Store, Cox Communications, and the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino using the event as a springboard for a promotion presence in the 30 League markets. Additional hospitality events including dinner cruises, fabulous Las Vegas shows, cocktail parties, and golf outings, made the vent memorable for sponsor guests, fans, players, and executives alike.
