What year did baseball start in Cleveland?

Cleveland baseball started as the 'Forest City' club in 1865. At the time they were amateurs: Their first professional game was in 1869. They were charter members of the National Association, the predecessor to the modern National League, in 1871 but folded in 1872. A second 'Forest City' club played in the National League from 1879 to 1884. A third team debuted in 1887, then soon changed its name to the Spiders. The 1898 Cleveland Spiders hold the record for the worst team of the moden era with a W/L record of 20-134. As a prelude to turning into a major league, the Western League moved the Grand Rapids Rustlers club to Cleveland in 1900. In 1901 the Western League rebranded itself the American League. From 1900-1901, the team was known as the Blues. In 1902 they were renamed the Cleveland Bronchos, and in 1903 became the Cleveland Naps in honor of Nap Lajoie, one of the legendary players of this era. In 1915 the Naps became the Indians we know today.
