In addition to the American League and the National League, the following five baseball leagues (now defunct) are generally considered by most baseball historians to have been major leagues:

1871 ... National Association of Professional Baseball Players, to 1875
1876 ... National League, formed to replace the National Association
1882 ... American Association, absorbed by the NL in 1891
1884 ... Union Association, folded after one season
1890 ... Players League, also folded after just one season
1901 ... American League, formerly the Western League, a minor league in 1900
1914 ... Federal League, a minor league in 1913, folded in 1915

Official post-season play-offs were held from 1884 to 1890, between the National League and the American Association, and the modern-day World Series began in 1903.
