NOTE:
There is room for considerable debate as to the exact dates of the different eras of baseball history. I used (primarily) four sources of information before making my own judgement calls. Note also that my chronology doesn't totally agree with any one of the sources, nor do any two of them completely agree with each other. Such is the nature of assigning historical eras.
