WELCOME TO THE ONLINE HOME OF THE ALLIANCE HOT STOVE BASEBALL LEAGUE

The Hot Stove League was first conceived by enterprising sports editor Karl Artman, of Selma, Alabama. His original idea was to form fun clubs where the members could swap ideas and discuss organized baseball in all its phases. With this thought in mind, several clubs were formed in the spring of 1935.  Cy Butler, of the Alliance Review, had been interested in the organization and Alliance was the first city in Ohio to receive a Charter on November 18, 1937. Butler's interest in the idea led him to purchase the franchise in January of 1942 and, as a result, the National Hot Stove League Headquarters was moved to Alliance with Butler becoming the National President. Under his leadership the program then grew to more charters and 100,000 members.
