Bud Fowler forms the independent Page Fence Giants in Adrian, Mich. The team plays all 130 games on the road but travels the country in a custom-made railroad car with sleeping quarters, a cook and porter, and the team's name emblazoned on the sides of the car. In his only minor league season, 19-year-old pitcher George Wilson goes 29-4 with 280 strikeouts in 298 innings for Adrian of the Michigan State League.
The Page Fence Giants win 82 consecutive games.
Outfielder Bill Galloway plays 20 games for Woodstock of the Canadian League, the last time until 1946 that a black player played minor league baseball.
The Page Fence Giants and the Cuban Giants, the two most successful black teams of the day, play a 15-game series. Page Fence wins 10 of the 15 and the unofficial title of best team in black baseball.
The Acme Colored Giants of Celoron, N.Y., disband and leave the Iron and Oil League; they were the last black team to play in an otherwise all-white league.
