Having been classified at various levels throughout its existence, it operated at [[Class A-Advanced]] from 1990 until its demotion to [[Single-A]] following [[Major League Baseball]]'s 2021 reorganization of the minor leagues. The league temporarily operated for the 2021 season as the '''Low-A Southeast''' before reassuming its original moniker in 2022. Each league member is affiliated with a Major League Baseball (MLB) team, and most play in their affiliate's [[spring training]] facility. ==History== The league originated in 1919 with teams in [[Bartow, Florida|Bartow]], [[Bradenton, Florida|Bradenton]], [[Lakeland, Florida|Lakeland]], [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Sanford, Florida|Sanford]], and [[Tampa, Florida]]. The league closed down in 1928 and resumed play in 1936. It has continued uninterrupted, except for a four-year (1942β1945) suspension during [[World War II]]. Initially, the FSL was classified as a [[Class D (baseball)|Class D]] circuit, roughly equivalent to a Rookie-level league today. It was elevated to [[Class C (baseball)|Class C]] from 1921 to 1924, roughly equivalent to an Advanced Rookie league in the pre-2021 classification system and a Rookie-level league today. It reverted to Class D from 1925 to 1928. The league went dormant from 1929 to 1935 but was revived as a Class D circuit from 1936 to 1941. After another period of inactivity from 1942 to 1945, it continued at Class D from 1946 to 1962. When the minor leagues were reconfigured in 1963, the FSL was reclassified as a [[Class A (baseball)|Class A]] league, placing it three steps below the majors. There it continued until the next reorganization in 1990 when it was elevated to [[Class A-Advanced]], remaining at the third rung on the minor league ladder.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?code=FLOR&class=A+|title=Florida State League (Adv A) Encyclopedia and History|website=Baseball-Reference|publisher=Sports Reference|access-date=November 11, 2020}}</ref> The championship series' first cancellation was in 2001, when playoffs were canceled after the [[September 11 attacks]]. Afterwards, the 2004 playoffs were canceled due to the threat of [[Hurricane Ivan]]. Years later, the 2017 FSL Championship finals were canceled on September 5, due to the threat of [[Hurricane Irma]].
