Many early minority baseball teams were able to survive and even profit by barnstorming small towns and playing local semi-pro teams as well as league games. Some early dominant teams did not join a league since they could pull in larger profits independently. Prior to the creation of the Negro National League in 1920, early leagues were specifically structured as minor leagues.
