Chicago Pirates
From BR Bullpen
See 1890 Pirates, the team's only season. The Players League club was a mix primarily of former St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Stockings; managed by Charlie Comiskey, it was the sole team whose leader came from the American Association rather than the National League. Hugh Duffy led the league in runs and hits, while Silver King and Mark Baldwin tied for the PL lead in victories as they went the distance in 102 of Chicago's 137 games.
