1901 American League
Baltimore Orioles (now New York Yankees)
Boston Americans (now Red Sox)
Chicago White Sox
Cleveland Blues (now Indians)
Detroit Tigers
Milwaukee Brewers (now Baltimore Orioles)
Philadelphia Athletics (now in Oakland)
Washington Senators (now Minnesota Twins)
1876 National League
Boston Red Caps (now Atlanta Braves)
Chicago White Stockings (now Cubs)
Cincinnati Reds
Hartford Dark Blues (contracted after 1877)
Louisville Grays (contracted after 1877)
New York Mutuals (contracted after 1876 -- imagine the NY market unable to float a franchise for more than one season)
Philadelphia Athletics (contracted after 1876)
St. Louis Brown Stockings (contracted after 1877)
Things were different back then.
