For a good long time, the configurations of the leagues for Major League Baseball were as follows, for about half a century, once the classic teams were in their classic, and often original, locations:

National League:

Boston Braves (They also had other nicknames, of course [Now in Atlanta])
Brooklyn Dodgers (They also had other nicknames, of course [Now in Los Angeles])
Chicago Cubs (Was a while before they finally adopted the Cubs nickname full-time)
Cincinnati Reds
New York Giants (Among other names, of course [Now in San Francisco])
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
St. Louis Cardinals (They had other names earlier as well, before the Cardinals nickname stuck permanently)

American League:

Boston Red Sox (Other names are present in their franchise history)
Chicago White Sox (Other names present as well in their history)
Cleveland Indians (Other names present as well in their history)
Detroit Tigers
New York Yankees (Were the Baltimore Orioles, essentially, early on, before moving to New York and spending some time as the Highlanders, if I remember correctly)
Philadelphia Athletics (Among other names, if I remember correctly [Now in Oakland])
St. Louis Browns (Spent some time in Milwaukee before St. Louis [Now in Baltimore])
Washington Senators (Among other names, I believe [Now in Minnesota])

There was a Federal League around in the middle 1910's, but it didn't last long, in truth. And there was an abortive attempt at creating another major league called the Continental League in the late 1950's to early 1960's, but when MLB decided to expand, that attempt died quickly.

That brought on the expansion era, in quick succession. And led to more teams being created and other changes, some of which, many people do not like, of course. For me, I don't like the DH, never have, and never will. Nor the number of odd divisions per league, among others, for sure.

I have many more thoughts about baseball-related things and all to share, I'm sure, if anyone is willing to consider them, and all, of course. I know a good deal about baseball-related things, but there are many other things about baseball or related to baseball that I don't know, obviously, as well.

Feel free to ask more questions, and I'll answer your questions as best as I can, when I can, and all, henric. That goes for any of the rest of you as well, by the way, folks.

Until next time, I'll close this post here, for I have other things to do today, most likely, whatever those might be. Take care, and may God bless you all, as He wills and all, of course. CD out.
