1902-1904

1902
In 1902, the Pittsburgh Prowlers defended their first championship by running away with the ABC pennant again. They spent most of the season in first place, and it was never a contest as they easily finished first again. The NBC was closer, as the Browns had a furious challenger in the Kentucky Kings. This race went down to the wire, but the Browns came out on top to win the NBC pennant again. They had their rematch with Pittsburgh in the World Series, but this time it was no contest. The Prowlers won the first three games, dropped Game 4 and then took Game 5 to win their second World Series in a row.

1903
In 1903, the Prowlers once again ran the table in the ABC, while the NBC had a four-team race. The Browns challenged for the title again, with the Kings in the hunt as well. The Chicago Outlaws and Hartford Lions were also in the race. The Outlaws took the NBC pennant, and went on to defeat the Prowlers in the World Series, denying Pittsburgh a three-peat.

1904
The Prowlers' run was over, as they slipped into the middle of the standings in 1904. The New York Knights challenged for the top spot in the ABC, but in the end the Virginia Beach Captains took it pretty decisively. The NBC featured a very exciting 3-team race between the defending champion Chicago Outlaws, the Hartford Lions and the Philadelphia Yellow Jackets. The Yellow Jackets won the pennant, but were swept by the Captains in the World Series.
In the first round of the draft in 1904, the Knights took some guy named Ty Cobb.
