bit on end of NA/start of NL needs revision[edit]

Currently

After the Brown Stockings' initial season which saw them finish 39-29-2 among six teams, the NA folded after its fifth year due to instability...The winter following the disestablishment of the NA, six teams from that league – the Brown Stockings, the White Stockings, the Philadelphia Athletics, the Boston Red Stockings, the Hartford Dark Blues, and Mutual of New York – and two expansion franchises, the Cincinnati Red Stockings and the Louisville Grays all agreed to form a new all-professional baseball league, the National League (NL).

Bu that isn't what happened. What happened is that, with the NA still in existence, Chicago owner William Hulbert persuaded four other clubs to defect to his new league, the NL, and that caused the NA to collapse, not the other way round.Solicitr (talk) 12:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
