The Milwaukee Brewers of 1884âÂÂ1885 were an American professional baseball team and a member of (in order) the Northwestern League, Union Association, and Western League. Of those leagues, the Union Association was considered a major league, while the others were considered minor league.
After the Northwestern League completed its 1884 season in early September, the Brewers and St. Paul Saints joined the Union Association, a major league that only operated for one season, as replacement teams. Milwaukee (nicknamed the Cream Citys in some sources) played twelve games and posted an 8âÂÂ4 record, while St. Paul played eight games and posted a 2âÂÂ6 record.
