I’m sure there was also the gamble that a Middletown, CT could live off of one big payday when they journeyed into New York City and played the Mutual or what have you. It’s more about the fly by night nature of the league itself that there was so much folding, and eventually all of that was why the original NL was formed out of the ashes of the NA (clubs in bigger cities didn’t want to deal with the here today gone tomorrow teams) (although ironically one of the first major moves the NL had to do was to kick out the Philadelphia and New York teams when they decided not to fulfill their schedule at the end of the 1876 season).
