The St Louis Brown Stockings (a member of National Association in 1875), became a charter member of the National League. The team went 45-19 and finished in second place, four games behind Chicago on 47-13. Under accusations of scandal, the owner John B.C. Lucas withdrew his team from the league before the 1878 season. The Sportsman's Park and Club was formed in 1881 to take over the operation of the Grand Avenue Ballpark. With Dutchman Chris Von der Ahe as corporate president and chief stockholder, professional baseball was back in St Louis for the 1882 season. Von der Ahe entered his St. Louis Browns into the American Association, and the team won four consecutive pennants from 1885 to 1888. The American Associaton folded at the conclusion of 1891 and the St Louis Browns rejoined the NL as part of the newly reformed 12 team circuit. The St Louis franchise has had continuous membership in the National League ever since.

Chris Von der Ahe and his corporation were bankrupt by 1898, and the Robison Brothers stepped in to purchase the Browns. The Robison Brothers, Frank and Stanley, discarded the name of Browns, calling the St Louis National Leaguers the Perfectos. The team was outfitted in red striped stockings and red-trimmed uniforms. When sportswriter Willie McHale, of the St Louis Republic, heard a lady fan remark 'What a lovely shade of cardinal' the new nickname was used in his column, and struck a chord with St Louis fans. The team officially changed its name from the Perfectos to the Cardinals in 1900. The ballpark also discarded the old Sportsman's Park name in favor of League Park.
