1899 post-season[edit]

If no postseason series was played in 1899, why is there an entry for the Beaneaters in the second column of the table? Is there some special reason for this, or is it merely an inconsistency with other years with no postseason, like 1893 and 1898?—Dodiad (talk) 19:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I or a previous editor had entered a series result (3-3) that was later deleted. The reasons for including or deleting that putative series result need to be double-checked against the sources (by me or someone else). —— Shakescene (talk) 10:21, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Team nicknames need reformation[edit]

While no team "name" was official in the 1800s aside from club names like Eckford, Atlantic and Metropolitan, some were actually used (by reporters, not the clubs), such as "Giants", "Browns", and, towards the end of the century, "Pirates" and "Orioles." But most of the others never really existed at all, except as arbitrarily concocted by Turkin and Thompson (you won't find them in Lanigan, or contemporary newspaper accounts.) Artificialities like "Beaneaters," "Colonels" and "Bridegrooms" really need to be purged. Solicitr (talk) 19:16, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It can be complicated. It varies from club to club. The ones shown in the article are the generally accepted and sourced nicknames of the participants, even though some were unofficial. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:44, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
