TheMilwaukee Brewers of 1894–1901 were an Americanprofessional baseball team. They competed as members of theWestern League from 1894 to 1899, then as members of theAmerican League in 1900 and 1901. Both leagues were consideredminor leagues during those seasons, except for1901 when the American League declared itself a major league.
TheWestern League had previously operated for multiple seasons between 1885 and 1892. It reorganized in November 1893, then operated continuously from 1894 through 1899, during which the Brewers competed. The league renamed itself theAmerican League for the 1900 season, during which the Brewers again competed.Connie Mack, who later managed thePhiladelphia Athletics for 50 years, managed the team for four seasons, 1897–1900.
Prior to the1901 season, the American League declared itself a major league, competing for players and revenue against the only other major league in operation at the time, theNational League. Owned byHenry Killilea, the Brewers were led byplayer-managerHugh Duffy that season and finished last in the eight-team league.[1] The team played atLloyd Street Grounds,[2] between 16th and 18th Streets in Milwaukee.
Prior to the1902 season, the Brewers were relocated toSt. Louis and renamed theSt. Louis Browns. That franchise played in St. Louis through the 1953 season, then relocated again to become theBaltimore Orioles.
After the major-league team left Milwaukee following the 1901 season, a minor-leagueMilwaukee Brewers franchise competed in theAmerican Association from 1902 through 1952.
