split $1000 prize money. Aftermath The National League abolished the split season format for 1893, and did not play another split season until , which was caused by a players' strike. Multiple participants in the series were later inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame: Jesse Burkett (Cleveland, OF) John Clarkson (Cleveland, P) George Davis (Cleveland, SS) Hugh Duffy (Boston, CF) King Kelly (Boston, C) Tommy McCarthy (Boston, OF) Kid Nichols (Boston, P) Frank Selee (Boston, Mgr.) Cy Young (Cleveland, P) John Clarkson had started the season with the Beaneaters, and signed with the Spiders after being released at the end of June. Pitcher Lee Viau also played for both Boston and Cleveland during 1892. The Beaneaters were later known as the Doves (1907–1910) and the Rustlers (1911) before adopting the nickname of "Braves" in 1912. The franchise relocated to Milwaukee in 1953, and then moved to Atlanta in 1966, where they remain members of the National League as the Atlanta Braves. The Spiders' final season was 1899, when they compiled a record of 20–134 (establishing a longstanding record for the worst major league season) after ownership moved their best players to the St. Louis Cardinals, and were one of four teams contracted out of the National League when the league reduced its size to eight teams prior to the season.
