From the desk: FINGERPRINTS OF DEM BUMS
In baseball's sixth ever World Series clash of 1889, the National League New York Giants defeated the American Association champion Brooklyn Bridegrooms six games to three, and an inter-city rivalry was born. While this marked New York's second straight championship victory over the Association, it would be Brooklyn's last as an AA member club. The following season, the Bridegrooms would make their National League debut. Welcome to "BEFORE the BUMS" my game-by-game rewind of (the city) Brooklyn's historic 1890 season.
GAME #22
Friday, May 23, 1890
WASHINGTON PARK
Bridegrooms Drop Finale Against Reds
Cincinnati, led by the performance of Lee Viau, salvaged the series finale at Washington Park. The Reds' right-hander limited the Bridegrooms to single runs in the first and second innings on five scattered hits and three walks with eight strikeouts for the win. Brooklyn right-hander Adonis Terry surrendered seven runs on eleven hits and three walks with six strikeouts in a losing effort. Adonis tried helping his cause with two hits at the plate to no avail. First baseman Dave Foutz continued his heavy-hitting with a first-inning triple. Terry also tripled and delivered home a run in the second.
- FINAL: CIN 7; BKN 2
- RECORD: 12-10 (.545); 3rd place, 1.5 GB of Philadelphia Phillies
