1898 Playoffs

Spiders Top Bridegrooms in World Series
Wednesday, October 5th, 1898
"It was two outs in the last inning of the 1898 World Series and my heart is pounding. When the last out was made, a grand feeling came over me. We were the champs for today and forever. We were the champions." That is how the Cleveland manager described his feelings to reporters after the game. "This is the goal. This is the pinnacle of success. This is why we play the game."

The Cleveland Spiders won their 2nd league championship with a 5-2 win over the Brooklyn Bridegrooms. During the season the new champs compiled a 92-62 record in the American League and finished in first place in the standings. They triumphed over the Bridegrooms 4-3 in games.
