1883 was an amazing season for the Boston Beaneaters (now the Atlanta Braves). First, they changed their name from the Red Stockings to the Beaneaters. Second, in mid season the changed managers from "Honest" John Morrill to Jack Burdock. Third, they had a second half rally when they came from dead last on July 18 to win the National League pennant and the World Series.
They had a 63-35 record ending up 4 games ahead.
Beaneaters indeed.

Change (1882)
1882 brought the first time that the Braves would change managers. Harry Wright was out. John Morrill was in. This would be the first of many managerial changes.
The Red Caps improved. They moved up from sixth place the year before to tie for third. A fairly impressive 45-39 record.
