19th-Century Majors

Chicago Unions

Active 1884 · 35 players

A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Chicago 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

The four largest measured careers at this club, by StatVault VAL attributed to Chicago Unions itself. A season counts here only when Chicago Unions is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 18 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 5 of 35 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
