The 1887 World Series: I Called This

Should the Detroits beat the Browns, the latter will have good excuses to offer. Comiskey has a broken thumb, Robinson a very bad hand, Foutz a broken thumb, Bushong a broken finger, and Caruthers hasn't been feeling well. But very likely they'll all get in trim by October 10.

Absolutely, they can't possibly lose. But if they do...

I'm beginning to think that the coverage may take a turn for the ugly when the Browns start losing to Detroit. Not sure but given the way the press turned on the team a few years later it's certainly possible. It'll be interesting to see.
