The Missouri State League was a baseball minor league. The league was created for the 1911 season, as were all of the teams which were a part of it.
The League started with teams in Brookfield, Missouri, Jefferson City, Missouri, Kirksville, Missouri, Macon, Missouri, and Sedalia, Missouri. The Brookfield team, the Hustlers, folded on May 8, and the Sedalia team moved to Brookfield after the Hustlers folded. They had a record of 7-3 in Sedalia, and 4-5 in Brookfield. The final standings were:
| Sedalia Cubs (later Brookfield Cubs) | 11-8 |
| Macon Athletics | 10-8 |
| Kirksville Osteopaths | 9-12 |
| Jefferson City Senators | 11-9 |
| Brookfield Hustlers | 0-4 |
The Jefferson City Senators team folded on June 2. The Brookfield Cubs, Kirksville Osteopaths, Macon Athletics, and the league itself folded on June 4.
Famous quotes containing the words missouri, state and/or league:
“Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it, is [in?] his love of justice.... Repeal the Missouri compromise—repeal all compromises—repeal the declaration of independence—repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man’s heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Every country has its own constitution; ours is absolutism moderated by assassination.”
—Anonymous Russian. Quoted in Count Münster, Political Sketches of the State of Europe 1814-1867 (1868)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
