===1879β1884 Cleveland Forest Citys and Blues=== In 1876, the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) supplanted the NA as the major professional league. Cleveland was not among its charter members, but by 1879 the league was looking for new entries and the city gained an NL team. A new Cleveland Forest Citys were recreated, but by 1882 were known as the [[Cleveland Blues (NL)|Cleveland Blues]], because the National League required distinct colors for that season. The Blues had mediocre records for six seasons and were ruined by a trade war with the [[Union Association]] (UA) in 1884, when its three best players ([[Fred Dunlap]], [[Jack Glasscock]], and [[Jim McCormick (pitcher)|Jim McCormick]]) jumped to the UA after being offered higher salaries. The Cleveland Blues merged with the St. Louis Maroons UA team in 1885.
