Nine.

The first professional Baseball league was the National Association whose first season was 1871. I say "professional" and not "major" because current MLB and the Hall of Fame do not recognize the National Association as a Major League. The reasons for this are sketchy, regardless, no one can dispute that the NA was the first professional baseball league.

The teams that played in the first season of the National Association were:

1) Philadelphia Athletics

2) Chicago White Stockings

3) Boston Red Stockings

4) Washington Olympics

5) New York Mutuals

6) Troy Haymakers

7) Fort Wayne Kekiongas

8) Cleveland Forest Citys

9) Rockford Forest Citys

There are currently 30 teams. Few teams have truly become defunct, because many of them just relocated. When the team goes away, another team fills its spot.
