The 1899 season began with the Brooklyn team and the Baltimore Orioles merging. Baltimore owner Harry Von der Horst and Ned Hanlon became part owners of Brooklyn. Von der Horst insisted than Hanlon become the team's new manager, a position that had been promised to outfielder Mike Griffin, who had been interim manager the previous year. Griffin quit and wound up suing the team for lost wages. Re-named the Superbas as part of the deal, the team also siphoned off the several of the Orioles best players.. part of the reason why the Superbas managed to win the National League pennant with 101 wins.
