The '''Tri State League''' was a minor league organized in 1935 and was one of the several [Negro leagues](/source/Negro_league_baseball) that operated during an era in which organized baseball was segregated. The Tri State League was organized as an eight-team league, with the league franchises based in [Alabama](/source/Alabama), [Florida](/source/Florida), [Mississippi](/source/Mississippi) and [Louisiana](/source/Louisiana).

==History==
The Tri State League was organized by Allen Page, who was owner of the Page Hotel in [New Orleans, Louisiana](/source/New_Orleans%2C_Louisiana). Page also owned the [New Orleans Black Pelicans](/source/New_Orleans_Black_Pelicans) franchise and would later own the [New Orleans Creoles](/source/New_Orleans_Creoles) team.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cuicchi |first1=Richard |title=Black History Month: Female Negro League trailblazer Toni Stone played for New Orleans Creoles |url=https://crescentcitysports.com/black-history-month-female-negro-league-trailblazer-toni-stone-played-for-new-orleans-creoles/ |website=Crescent City Sports |access-date=9 February 2022 |date=21 November 2023}}</ref><ref name="heaphy">{{cite web |last1=Heaphy |first1=Leslie |title=Women in the Negro Leagues |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/articles/women-in-the-negro-leagues-leslie-heaphy.shtml |website=Baseball Reference |access-date=9 February 2022}}</ref><ref name="whirty">{{cite web |last1=Whirty |first1=Ryan |title=Diamonds in the Rough: Before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, "the Negro leagues" were the only games in town for black ballplayers. |url=https://www.myneworleans.com/diamonds-in-the-rough/ |website=myneworleans.com |access-date=9 February 2022 |date=1 May 2012}}</ref> The league was structured as an eight-team with standings and statistics unknown.<ref name="auto">{{cite journal
