2024

The American Association accomplished something in 2024 that they had only done once before (from 2008-10): keep the same team lineup intact for three years in a row.

The season saw Cleburne win their first-ever division title, only to get bounced in the first round. Meanwhile, Winnipeg pulled a worst-to-first act and rode that wave all the way to the Miles Wolff Cup Finals. However, they were stopped in their tracks by the Kane County Cougars, who pulled off the first 7-0 playoff run in AA history, allowing just nine runs total in the postseason to win their first Miles Wolff Cup.
