Pittsburgh Burghers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pittsburgh Burghers were a baseball team in the Players League, a short-lived Major League that existed only for the 1890 season. The team included a number of plalyers who had jumped from the Pittsburgh Alleghenies, including Hall of Famers Pud Galvin, Ned Hanlon, and Jake Beckley. Hanlon served as the team's Manager. The team played at the Alleghenies' former home, Exposition Park.
In its only season, the Burghers finished in 6th place with a 60-68 record.
