The first season of professional base ball ended up being a little underwhelming due to the enormous difference in the talent levels. The final standings were:
Chicago Whales 39-21
Philadelphia Quakers 35-25
St. Louis Westerns 15-45
St. Louis Blue Sox 10-50
Washington Federals 54-6
Baltimore Canaries 31-29
Brooklyn Grooms 29-31
New York Gothams 27-33
Washington went 6-0 against Chicago during the regular season but would play them in the first ever World's Series, a best-of-seven competition that was said to determine whether the best team from the east or that from the west was better. The answer seemed obvious, but Washington still had to play the games.
