Indianapolis Hoosiers
Franchise Overview 1894-1900 (7 seasons)
Recap
The first attempt at professional baseball in Indianapolis came in the 1870s, when a club called the Indianapolis Blues operated in the National League in 1878. After a hiatus, organized baseball began again in 1887, and the city has hosted professional baseball nearly every year since then. After 15 years of various franchises competing in various leagues (including four years in the National League and one year in the American Association), the current Indianapolis Indians franchise was founded as an original member of the American Association in 1902. That year's team won 95 games and the first of 21 pennants.
