1900
The aggressively-improving American League was rejected as an equal major league by the established National League.Although there were multiple major leagues more often than not in the course of organized baseball over the latter half of the 19th Century, at this juncture the NL felt it was the sole top circuit in the game, and it was especially irked that the AL was ignoring the National Agreement to compete head-to-head in NL cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
How did this affect the White Sox, a newly-formed AL team relocating from St. Paul?
