World Series
Philadelphia wins in 5. This is their first league World Series title!

Offseason
Rookie of the year: NL- Bug Holliday, CF, BRK; AL- Herman Long, SS, CLE
MVP : NL- Hardie Henderson, SP, PHI (1889); AL- Pete Conway, SP, DET (1889)
MVH : NL- Harry Stovey, LF, CHI (1889); AL- Sam Thompson, RF, CWS (1889)

Saint Louis Browns take Cy Young with the #1 pick.

Hall of Fame
Charley Jones never had one defining year, but for the early stages of baseball, he was one of the best CF, and LF later in his career.

As the committee was accepting Jones' nomination they revisited Lip Pike and Jimmy Wood, and inducted both, as they put up fantastic numbers, which have held solid over time, in the early, shorter seasons.
