The Colorado State League was an unaffiliated minor league baseball league that played between 1885 and 1898 involving teams from Colorado. Notable participants included the Leadville Blues , who were members of the league in multiple seasons, including 1885, 1889, and 1898. The league disbanded after the 1898 season, with Aspen’s team folding mid-season despite leading the standings. [1]
