Alleghenys win Championship in 6
October 31, 1889
The National League once again displayed their dominance over the American Association as the Pittsburgh Alleghenys defeated the Columbus Solons in 6 games to win the Championship Series. In 1886 the winner of the American Association accepted the challenge of a Championship Series against the winner of the National League. For the fourth straight year the National League came out on top to continue their dominance.
As the National League continues to dominate the American Association, rumors of financial trouble continue to plague the American Association. Rumors continue to surface that two teams could be leaving the American Association in 1890 due to financial problems. A league meeting is scheduled for November among American Association teams in order to address the challenges and future of the American Association.
The Brotherhood of Professional Base Ball Players continue to move forward with plans to start a rival "third" professional baseball league. Formal preparations are expected to begin in November. Neither the National League or American Association would comment on the situation.
