The team finished the first half of the split season in second place, just 2.5 games behind the Boston Beaneaters. However, they faded in the second half, finishing 9.5 games behind the second-half champion Cleveland Spiders and missing out on the postseason playoff. Their combined record was 95–59, third best overall in the league. The season was a tragic one, as outfielder Hub Collins left a game on May 14 because he was feeling ill. A week later he was dead, the victim of typhoid fever. The team put on a benefit game to raise money for his widow on May 29. One bright spot, however, was first baseman Dan Brouthers, who won the batting title with a .335 batting average.http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/la/history/timeline01.jsp Dodgers timeline from MLB.com October 11, 2007 July 4, 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080704170220/http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/la/history/timeline01.jsp dead Regular season Season standings Brooklyn Grooms Record vs. opponents BRO Roster 1892 Brooklyn Grooms Roster Pitchers George Haddock Bill Hart Bert Inks Brickyard Kennedy Ed Stein Catchers Con Daily Tom Kinslow Infielders Dan Brouthers Tommy Corcoran Tom Daly Bill Joyce John Ward Outfielders Oyster Burns Hub Collins Dave Foutz Mike Griffin Darby O'Brien Manager John Ward Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats; R = Runs; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in; SB = Stolen bases Pos Player G AB R H Avg.
