The BSL sought to establish baseball clubs in a number of rapidly expanding urban areas without professional sports entertainment. The circuit featured six franchises represented on its inaugural season. At the time, none of the cities represented had hosted professional baseball for 40 years. In its second season, the three teams from Tennessee left the BSL to join the Heartland League, while the team from Arkansas did not return. New teams from Mississippi and Tennessee joined the league to complete a four-team circuit, but the BSL failed when attendance fell drastically, from over 200,000 to under 100,000, and folded at the end of the season.
