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 #38
Tuesday, June 10, 1890
WASHINGTON PARK
Bridegrooms Defeat John Clarkson
Brooklyn won their second straight against the visiting Beaneaters. The teams traded runs in the third inning, and the score remained unchanged through the fifth. Boston took a 2-1 lead in the sixth, whereas the Bridegrooms were limited to just three hits. But that all changed in the seventh. The Beaneaters extended their lead by two in the top half of the frame. However, with four runs in the bottom of the frame, the Bridegrooms seized a 5-3 lead. Brooklyn then scored an insurance run. Center fielder Darby O'Brien tripled home two runs in the seventh, and starter Tom Lovett aided his own cause with a home run in the eighth. The Beaneaters scored once in the ninth. Three-time National League wins leader
John Clarkson yielded eight hits and walked five in the loss.
- FINAL: BOS 4; BKN 6
- RECORD: 22-16 (.579); 3rd place, 3.5 GB of Philadelphia Phillies
