Scott, but Pinkney's consecutive innings streak, however, would last until it was broken by Cal Ripken Jr. nearly 100 years later. May 8 – Wee Willie McGill starts today for the Cleveland Infants against the Buffalo Bisons in a Players' League game. McGill, a virtual infant himself at only 16 years and 6 months old, yields 7 hits, walks 7, strikes out 10, and singles in a 14–5 complete game victory.

It is the last game Greenwood plays at shortstop in his career. June 21 – Silver King of the Chicago Pirates of the Players' League pitches a no-hitter against the Brooklyn Ward's Wonders but loses 1–0 when the game's only run comes on a 2-base error.
