Does the term Major League Baseball go back to 1876? Or does it go back to the National Association? 1876 is the first year of the National League. Great trivia questions is what happened first, Battle of the Little Bighorn or 1st game of the NL?
I’ve wondered this myself. When was the first year that the actual name Major League Baseball was used?
Wasn’t Andy Leonard On the 1869 red stockings? Or was that another AndyLeonard?
Same gent.
Meaning no disrespect but can you help me understand how Leonard was better than Tommy Bond? To my uneducated eye Bond looks to have been an excellent pitcher for many years.
