American Basketball Association The original American Basketball Association (ABA) was a major-league professional basketball league founded in 1967.

Northern League (baseball, 1993–2010) The Northern League was an independent minor professional baseball league. It was affiliated with neither Major League Baseball nor the organized minor leagues. The league was founded in 1993 and folded after its 2010 season when financial stability became a problem. The three teams remaining in the league when it folded joined with the remaining teams in United League Baseball and the Golden Baseball League to form a new independent organization called the North American League.
