The Union Association was basically a farce of a league. It was founded by a St. Louis millionaire, Henry V. Lucas, and his team was far and beyond better than every team out there. Twelve teams started out and only five finished the season with teams playing no set number of games. There was no pennant race or championship game. The thing that may have made this league considered somewhat of a major league is that they moved into major league cities. It is no surprise, however, that the league folded after a year.
