That's probably the best way to go for now.
I don't think there's any league which could stand in as a second league for the 1871-1876 period, but the International Association is a reasonable second league for 1877-1879 (and some researchers claim it warrants consideration as a major league). The Western League is a good choice for the 1894-1899 period.
I'd suggest something like this for 1876 onwards for the other league:
International Association, running from 1876-1881; this is replaced by the American Association from 1882-1891; the AA is replaced by the Western League for 1892-1899; and lastly the American League replaces the Western League in 1900. (In reality, the Western League really did become the AL in 1900.)
That's a reasonably good comprise with reality, I think.
Still leaves the question of the 1871-1875 and the 1884 UA and 1890 PL though...
