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 the New York Giants second straight championship victory over the Association, it would be Brooklyn's last campaign as an AA member club. The following season, the Bridegrooms would make their National League debut where they remain to this day. Welcome to "BEFORE the BUMS" my game-by-game rewind of (the city) Brooklyn's historic 1890 season.
GAME #113
Thursday, September 4, 1890
WASHINGTON PARK
Adonis Terry Earns 20th Victory; Bridegrooms Win Ninth in a Row
Starter Adonis Terry walked home a run, and the Giants scored a second time on George Pinkney's error. Another error by Hub Collins in the second inning led to New York's third run. But Adonis Terry settled down to hold the Giants scoreless over the final seven frames. He allowed seven hits and two walks and struck out seven for his 20th victory this season. First baseman Dave Foutz batted home two runs in the first, and Giant starter Amos Rusie repaid Brooklyn the favor by walking home two decisive runs in the third. The Bridegrooms tallied an unearned run in the fifth and tacked on two more in the seventh. Amos Rusie walked nine batters and surrendered seven hits in the loss.
- FINAL: NYG 3; BKN 7
- RECORD: 77-36 (.681); 1st place, 6.5 GA of Boston Beaneaters
