The 1892 St. Louis Browns season was the team's 11th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the first season in the National League. The Browns went 56-94 overall during the season, the eleventh-best in the league, better than only the Baltimore Orioles. They finished ninth in the first half of the season, and eleventh in the second half.
The Browns joined the National League when the American Association folded after the 1891 season and have remained a member ever since. This was the Browns final season before moving from the original Sportsman's Park to New Sportsman's Park where they would remain until 1920 when they would return to the old Sportsman's Park.
Famous quotes containing the words louis and/or season:
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
