Through the years St. Louis has been famous for the Cardinals who were at one time in the American Association and known as the Browns. But, there has been more to St. Louis baseball than the Cardinals, there were also the AL Browns who were famous for their miscues and losing seasons rather than winning.
Below is the list of MLB teams that have played in St. Louis with the years they played, the team name, the league they played in with their total W-L record and the number of pennants they won and their World Series record. If the team was playing before 1900 the old World Series records are in parenthesis.
Here are the St. Louis teams throughout history.
1876-77 St. Louis Brown Stockings-NL 73-51 .589 0 Pennants, WS Record 0-0
