1899 Playoffs





Louisville win their 7th title then promptly move to Milwaukee.

Colonels Win World Series
Tuesday, October 3rd, 1899
You could hear the cheering all over Louisville as the Colonels secured the final out of a 6-2 win over the St. Louis Perfectos to capture the 1899 Baseball History World Series 4-2. It was the 7th time in the team's history to win it.

"The Perfectos are a good ballclub," said the winning skipper, "We had to play at our best to beat them."

"Anytime you make big plays, it changes the momentum of the game," the losing manager said. "The Colonels made 'em and we didn't -- end of story."

During the season the new champs compiled a 91-63 record in the American League and finished in first place in the standings.
