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 #37
Monday, June 9, 1890
WASHINGTON PARK
Bridegrooms Return Home, Defeat Beaneaters
A crowd of 1,181 at Washington Park welcomed back their Bridegrooms. Facing Adonis Terry, Boston right fielder Steve Brody knocked home the game's first run in the opening frame. In the Brooklyn third, infield errors by Chippy McGarr and Lou Hardie cleared the way for three unearned runs. But with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings, the Beaneaters tied the game at three. However, they once again compromised themselves with poor fielding. Brooklyn scored four times in the seventh inning to post a 7-3 victory. Boston starter Kid Nichols otherwise limited Brooklyn to five hits, including a triple by George Pinkney in the third. For the win, Adonis Terry allowed three runs on eight scattered hits and four walks.
- FINAL: BOS 3; BKN 7
- RECORD: 21-16 (.568); 3rd place, 3.5 GB of Philadelphia Phillies
