St. Louis Maroons
The Maroons went 94-19 in 1884 and won the Union Association by 21 games. That .832 is the highest winning rate any club has recorded in any league. It is also the reason the Union Association is regarded as barely major: the club's owner, Henry Lucas, founded the league, stocked his own team first, and several of the clubs it beat folded mid-season and were replaced by whatever could be assembled.
The league lasted one year. The Maroons were admitted to the National League for 1885 and went 36-72, then 43-79, then folded. Three seasons at 173-170 in total, of which the first is almost all of the wins.
No Hall of Famer played here. Fred Dunlap, the second baseman, managed the 1884 club and hit .412 in the season nobody counts as a real one. Home was the Union Base Ball Park and later Sportsman's Park.
