In March 1871, ten of the United States' most powerful professional
baseball clubs met in Brooklyn, New York. Out of that meeting came
the sport's first major league: the National Association of
Professional Baseball Players. The Philadelphia Athletics, with a
record of 21-7, captured the new circuit's first championship. From
the National Association through the American League's inaugural
season in the final year of the century, this work is a
year-by-year statistical history of the teams and players of the
nineteenth century's major leagues. The teams are listed by league,
with full rosters and complete statistics for each player. An
introductory section for each year places the league in historical
perspective. Exhaustive team and player indexes are also included.
