I removed a lead paragraph sentence about how the acronym for the American Association, which was also known as the "Beer & Whiskey League", was "AA" and isn't it "coincidental" and "ironic" that "AA" also stands for "Alcoholics Anonymous".

As a short-term fix (until the demise of the AA and the legacy of its former teams is better addressed in this article) I have reworded the quoted sentence to remove the possible factual inaccuracy:
(Note: I've taken the information in the National League article and the articles of the three clubs as being factually correct without verification.)
