Braves, the oldest franchise, only ranks 6th.

The Phillies are 20 years older than the Yankees and have 486 less wins. (The original Orioles founded in the AL in 1901 are not considered a part of the Yankees history)

I thought the Reds were the oldest.

The original Red Stockings, the first fully professional baseball team, folded in 1870. There was a new Red Stocking that were charter members of the NL. They were booted in 1880 for the heinous crime of selling beer. The current Reds started in the (major) American Association in 1882 and jumped to the NL in 1890.

The Braves were founded in 1871 (with a lot of players from the original Cincinnati team) and have played ever since. The Chicago White Stockings/Cubs were also founded in 1871 but suspended play for two years due to the Great Chicago Fire.
