Don't forget New Orleans!

That kind of threw me for a minute, too. I'm glad they put the context in the same graf.
As to why the American Association disbanded anyway, the whiskeypedia linked to this April '98 piece, which claims it was voluntary. The benefits were said to be easier travel (!) and a AAA World Series.
It's hard for me to think of a single advantage to today's spread-out PCL. As someone mentioned earlier, it's not the prospect of seeing Fresno play in New Orleans or Memphis play in Tacoma that brings in the fans.
The PCL has had a mostly unbalanced schedule (one series per year against each team in the other conference) for about the last five years or so anyways. It's not like it would be a terribly huge change.
Always way ahead of his time.
