    The Philadelphia Athletics were a professional baseball team, one of six charter members of the American Association, a 19th-century major league, which began play in 1882 as a rival to the National League.
    In 1901, when Connie Mack was given an American League franchise in Philadelphia to compete with the Phillies, he picked the Athletics name as a tribute to Philadelphia's first professional baseball team.
    The Athletics then played in the inaugural year of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs before being expelled with financial problems. The Philadelphia Athletics did play in what was considered the first game in the history of Major League Baseball on April 22, 1876, losing to the Boston Red Caps 6-5.
    The Athletics were expelled by the league at the end of the season and was replaced by a new Philadelphia Athletics team, which previously played in the Players' League as the Quakers. The new team hired Sharsig as manager.
