War Between Big Leagues Ends 22 Years Ago Today
The 1891 truce between the National League and the American Association is marked today as twenty two years since the pact. The conflict began in 1890 with American Association incursions into Boston and Cincinnati, with Milwaukee replacing Cincinnati. Keily’s jump to the Boston Nationals tipped the balance, leading to a 12 city circuit and a costly peace that lasted until 1899 when four teams were dropped.
