Answer:Bud Fowler - 1878
Yes. In the early 1990s the American Women's Baseball League (AWBL) was formed and continues today. In 1994, the Womens National Adult Baseball Association formed. In 1997, the Ladies League Baseball was formed, which became the first Womens Professional Baseball League since the All American Girls Professional League, but folded a year later due to lack of attendance.
The National League began in 1876 and the American League started in 1901. The Cincinnati Reds were the first professional team founded in 1869 and were known as the Red Stockings back then.
Major professional sports league, or simply major league, is a term used in the United States and Canada for the highest professional competitions in team sports. The term "major league" was first used in 1921 in reference to Major League Baseball, the top level of professional American baseball.
The Cincinnati reds were the first baseball club to pay a player, therefor making it the first professional team in major league baseball.
The Cincinnati Reds, is recognized as the first "professional" baseball team.
Because the National League has been in existence longer than the American League ... the National League's first season as a major league was 1876 and the American League's first season as a major league was 1901.

No. The origins of both the American League and National League are from years before 1905... The National League of baseball freanchises (and MLB in general) originated in the late 1800's while the American League of Professional Baseball Franchises was founded in 1901. The first major league game was played May 4, 1871 between the Cleveland Forest Cities and the Fort Wayne Kekiongas. Click on the 'FIrst MLB Game' link on this page to read about it.
