The 1893 Brooklyn Grooms finish a disappointing seventh in the National League race under new player/manager Dave Foutz. The highlight of the year is when pitcher Brickyard Kennedy became the first Major Leaguer to pitch and win two games on the same day since the mound was moved back to 60 feet. He allowed just eight hits in beating the Louisville Colonels 3-0 and 6-2 in a doubleheader on May 30, 1893 [1].
