The Trans-Continental Base Ball Association was the world's first professional league, founded in 1870 along the eight largest cities on the transcontinental railroad. In 1871 the league expanded nationwide, drawing some of the National Association's top talent. Now nearing the end of the 1875 season, TCBA is the nation's preeminent baseball league.
