In 1901, the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs was founded by Ban Johnson as a direct competitor to the National League. The American League initially consisted of eight teams: Baltimore Orioles, Boston Americans (now Boston Red Sox), Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Broncos (now Cleveland Guardians), Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers (moved to St. Paul in 1902 and became the St. Paul Saints), Philadelphia Athletics, and Washington Senators (now Minnesota Twins).
