Regular season

[edit]
1885 St. Louis Browns

ManagerCharlie Comiskey finally was able to assemble and direct a team from start to finish the way he wanted.[citation needed] The result: a runaway championship.

The team was built on daring baserunning, clutch hitting, and the best pitching in the league. The team as a whole led the league in bothearned run average (ERA) and overall runs allowed by a healthy margin over second-bestLouisville.[1] Individually,Dave Foutz was outstanding, as he won 33 of the 46 games he started and ranked fifth in ERA. His teammateBob Caruthers was even better, compiling league-leading totals in wins (40), ERA (2.07) andwinning percentage (a stellar .755).[2]

The Browns took over first place to stay in the second week of May, but they made a joke of the race in July. On successive home stands, they had winning streaks of 17 and 12 games, combining for a major-league record 27-game winning streak at home that still stands as the best ever.[3] They finished games laps ahead of the second-placeCincinnati Red Stockings and earned a berth in theWorld Series against the National League champion Chicago White Stockings.
