A New League Is Born!
In 1901, Ban Johnson, with the consent of the team owners, withdrew from the National Agreement and announced plans to operate independently as a second major league. The National League owners welcomed their rivals, the American League, with disdain and fear. These elements give the underdog the chance to survive. Here are the list of the teams:
Baltimore Orioles
Boston Americans
Chicago White Stockings
Cleveland Blues
Detroit Tigers
Milwaukee Brewers
Philadelphia Athletics
Washington Senators
