Pennant Race

The 1883 season saw the Boston Beaneaters win their seventh pennant, and their third in the National League. The team would not win another pennant the rest of the decade, but was in heavy close contention for the pennant in 1884, 1889 and early contention in 1887 and 1888. Prior to the start of the 1890

season, the team hired Frank Selee to run the team. Selee had previously managed in the minors, where he won two pennants in his five seasons.

Under the guidance of Selee, the Beaneaters would win five pennants, and make two early World Series appearances in 1892, defeating the Cleveland Spiders, and in 1897, losing the Temple Cup to the Baltimore Orioles.
