 John McGraw played for the Baltimore Orioles of the NL 1891-1899 and as a player manager in 1899.  1900 he played for the St. Louis Cardinals.  There was no team in Baltimore in 1900 because the National League contracted it.  In 1901 a new ownership put a team back in Baltimore and hired John McGraw as the player/manager for the 1901 & 1902 seasons.
