View details for TEAM

As used in most places (including the PECOTA cards), Team is the three letter abbreviation for a major league, minor league, or foreign team. This page contains the list of teams and their abbreviations.

The Davenport Translations Player Cards have slightly different abbreviations, with a three-character team signifier, followed by a league signifier. The leagues are as follows: N signifies the National Association of 1871-1875 and the National League of 1876-present. A is for both the American Association (1882-1891, a major league, separate from the later minor league of the same name) and the 1901-present American League. U is the Union Association of 1884, P the Players League of 1890, and F the Federal League of 1914-15. For example, the Boston Red Sox are BOS-A, where the "A" signifies an American League team, while BOS-N refers to the Boston Braves National League franchise. At this time, for players who played for more than one team in a season, the order in which the various team stints are shown is not necessarily chronological.
