 | PBB News: The Offseason Begins
Saturday, October 22nd , 1887
It's time to put another PBB season in the ledger. General managers must make key personnel and financial decisions during the offseason. A lot will be happening -- trades or player signings could send shock waves throughout the league. Hirings, firings and retirings will happen over the next several months. But most important, general managers must choose a direction and steer their teams as well as they can toward a championship berth next season.

Thursday, October 20th , 1887
The St. Louis Pilots earned their 3rd Round 1 title and now have all winter to spend basking in the glory, while the beaten Louisville Colts will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong.
St. Louis became the Professional Base Ball champion for 1887 with a 7-4 triumph to capture the series 4-2.
"Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," winning manager said to the press corps at the postgame press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits."
Louisville skipper agreed with that assessment, saying his club turned out to be "a little weak on fundamentals" at crucial times.
"I have a sneaking suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring," he said.
On the way to the Round 1 championship, the Pilots ended up in first place in the International Association and compiled a 100-37 record during the regular season.
