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 #39
Wednesday, June 11, 1890
WASHINGTON PARK
Bridegrooms Shut Out by Beaneaters
For the first time this season, the heavy-hitting Bridegrooms were held scoreless. Brooklyn starter Adonis Terry pitched well, yielding only four hits. But the Beaneaters bunched three of them together in a three-run second inning - the game's only runs. After the third inning, Terry did not surrender another hit. Boston right-hander Pretzels Getzien allowed seven scattered hits and two walks with five strikeouts for the win. The Beaneaters salvage the series finale and avoid a sweep at Washington Park.
- FINAL: BOS 3; BKN 0
- RECORD: 22-17 (.564); t-3rd place, 4.5 GB of Philadelphia Phillies
