Cool! Nice article about Bill Shea and the Continental Baseball League. You youngsters who are scratching your head should read….
Branch Rickey and William Shea pushed for a third Major League, the eight-team Continental. But in the end, it gave way to expansion.
What’s sad is in a few years I’ll have to explain to people who Bill Shea was.

a few months ago, i came across a video of Branch Rickey as a celebrity guest on the 50s game show "What's My Line" where he was noted as the founder of the Continental League.
