What teams comprise the Major League Baseball American League?

Answer 1

from the Baseball almanac The newly developed Players League debuted with eight teams (Boston, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, New York Philadelphia and Pittsburgh) as the Buffalo Bisons recorded the greatest opening day winning margin with a 23-2 victory over the Cleveland Infants. The short-lived Players League folded in December returning all of their players to their original teams. The Pittsburgh franchise deviated from the agreement though and signed second baseman Louis Bierbauer who had originally belonged to the Philadelphia Phillies. After being accused in the papers of being �Pirates� the team adopted the nickname and refused to return Bierbauer to their cross-state rivals. The Players League listed above played for one year, 1890. The first major baseball league was the National Association that played from 1871-1875. There were nine teams that played in that first year: Philadelphia Athletics, Chicago White Stockings, Boston Red Stockings, Washington Olympics, New York Mutuals, Troy Haymakers, Fort Wayne Kekiongas, Cleveland Forest Citys, and Rockford Forest Citys.
