This list was original research when it was first published in 2008. The only reference is Wikipedia, an unreliable source. The article fails WP:GNG. Rhadow (talk) 23:01, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reliable sources are undoubtedly out there, some as close as the linked articles, e.g. for the Philadelphia White Stockings. This is a matter for cleanup, not deletion. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:40, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep A clearly defined list with a set inclusion criteria, and virtually all of the teams have their own WP articles. They can be used to get references from to support the list.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 06:45, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
