The Chicago Cubs were originally called the Chicago White Stockings when the National League first formed in 1876. They later were called the Colts and the Orphans before becoming the Cubs in 1901--the first year of the American League, which had as one of it's teams, the Chicago White Sox.

The Cincinnati Red Stockings. They were founded 1869 by attorney Aaron B. Chapman. Chapman hired Harry Wright to be the manager/scout/recruiter of this team.

They wore bright red stockings to go with their white shirts and Oxford black shoes. The total payroll of this first team ever was $9,300. The team organization made a profit of $1.39 after salaries and other expenses were paid.

The team won every game of that first season, and extended the winning streak to 130 games until they were beaten by the Brooklyn Atlantics in 1890.
