But throughout the 1940s and 1950s it was known as a predominately North Carolina League. In those days it wasn’t unusual for talented players to make a career out of Minor League Baseball. Though CL playing talent remained strong with great stars such as Dave Parker, the 1970s were a difficult time financially throughout Minor League Baseball. A number of cities found they could not support teams, and CL membership dwindled to four clubs. In a pair of bold moves in the late 1970s and early 1980s the CL went as far as north Maryland and re-established the Durham Bulls with two expansions in three years.
