The date boggles my mind, if accurate it is one year before the National League - and baseball as we know it today - was created.
The list of charter teams is almost familiar but with quite a bit of an uncanny valley effect:
- Chicago White Stockings (now the Cubs).
- Philadelphia Athletics (expelled from league, Phillies came later).
- Boston Red Stockings (now Atlanta Braves).
- Hartford Dark Blues (folded after just a couple of seasons).
- New York Mutuals (expelled, the Metropolitans/Giants came later).
- St Louis Brown Stockings (folded, the Cardinals came later).
- Cincinnati Reds (folded, the current Reds came later).
- Louisville Grays (folded).
