In 1900, the only major league was the National League, which had just contracted from 12 to 8 teams. Those team were:

-Brooklyn Superbas
-Pittsburg Pirates (not a typo - Pittsburgh dropped the -h at the end for some time during this period)
-Philadelphia Phillies
-Boston Beaneaters
-St. Louis Cardinals
-Chicago Orphans
-Cincinnati Reds
-New York Giants
