Convert a list of lists into a Pandas Dataframe I am trying to convert a list of lists which looks like the following into a Pandas Dataframe

[['New York Yankees ', '"Acevedo Juan"  ', 900000, ' Pitcher\n'], 
['New York Yankees ', '"Anderson Jason"', 300000, ' Pitcher\n'], 
['New York Yankees ', '"Clemens Roger" ', 10100000, ' Pitcher\n'], 
['New York Yankees ', '"Contreras Jose"', 5500000, ' Pitcher\n']]


I am basically trying to convert each item in the array into a pandas data frame which has four columns. What would be the best approach to this as pd.Dataframe does not quite give me what I am looking for.
import pandas as pd

data = [['New York Yankees', 'Acevedo Juan', 900000, 'Pitcher'], 
        ['New York Yankees', 'Anderson Jason', 300000, 'Pitcher'], 
        ['New York Yankees', 'Clemens Roger', 10100000, 'Pitcher'], 
        ['New York Yankees', 'Contreras Jose', 5500000, 'Pitcher']]

df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(data)
