Chapter Chapter 6 in National League Franchises: Team Performances Inspire Business Success, 2016, pp 45-51 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The fame and success of baseball’s first professional team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings in the late 1860s, encouraged others to adopt their names based on colors and cities. An Illinois team, which was officially known as The Chicago Base Ball Club, adopted white and became known as the Chicago White Stockings. After some individually arranged games, the club organized a roster and then joined the nation’s top organized league, the National Association of Base Ball Players (NABBP), which allowed professional players. Despite dominance by East Coast teams from the New York and Washington, D.C., areas, Chicago won the NABBP championship in 1870.
