L'Union Association est une ligue américaine de baseball professionnel qui opéra en 1884 en rivalité directe avec la Ligue nationale et l'American Association. Le statut de Ligue majeure lui est accordé rétroactivement.
Histoire
L'Union Association est fondée le 12 septembre 1883[1]. Le championnat qu'elle organise débute en avril 1884.
Après une saison marquée par d'importantes difficultés financières pour toutes ses franchises, l'UA cesse ses activités. Les pertes globales de l'UA sont évaluées à 250 000 dollars[2].
Champions de l'unique championnat de l'UA, les St. Louis Maroons rejoignent la Ligue nationale en 1885.
Les franchises
- Altoona Mountain Citys (abandonne le 31 mai)
- Baltimore Monumentals
