19th-Century Majors
Boston Unions
Active 1884 · 25 players · 1 Hall of Famers
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Boston Unions itself — never folded into an unrelated modern club, which would fabricate a lineage that never existed. See the full index of lost clubs.
Mount Rushmore
