interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country

playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of “Baseball Players” that had proclaimed a set of standard

rules. These teams as amateurs or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities

for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon

fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding.
