First, an explanation:
While working on the minor league schedules, I originally just created team abbreviations on the fly as I needed them. After awhile I realized that wasn't the optimal way to go. So, I sat down and created a uniform, systematized abbreviation approach which gave a unique three-letter abbreviation for every city/town which has ever hosted a minor league team. There are no duplications and the abbreviations do not use any of the abbreviations used by Retrosheet/Lahman database.
This list still needs to be cleaned up some and some additional locations and leagues added, but at present it contains 1,621 unique abbreviations.
Ten random examples:
Albany, GA = ABY
Albany, NY = ALB
Brooklyn, NY = BKN
Great Falls, MT = GRF
Hartford, CT = HFD
Las Vegas, NV = LVG
Morristown, TN = MRT
Paris, TX = PAR
Paris, KY = PAK
San Francisco, CA = SFR
