1872 End of August: National Association



Five teams have ceased operations: Forest Citys, Olympics, Nationals, Mansfields, Haymakers

It leaves an interesting scenario as the Cleveland club folded on August 19 and were in the hunt for the Association title. It would be quite an awkward occurrence if the Forest Citys capture the crown without having a team still playing.
