Providence Grays once a great Major League Baseball team based in Providence, Rhode Island that played in the National League from 1878 until 1885. The Grays played at Messer Field in the Olneyville neighborhood. The team won the National League title twice, in 1879 and 1884.
The 1884 team was led by ace pitcher Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn, who won a record 60 games that year and led the Grays to the pennant. When the team's other star pitcher, Charlie Sweeney, defected to the rival Union Association league in July, it looked like the Grays' season was doomed, but "Old Hoss" offered to pitch the rest of the team's games. The Grays went on a 20-game winning streak and topped the league ahead of their ferocious New England rivals, the Boston Red Stockings.
When the season was over, the Grays had won the league title by five games. They then played the New York Metropolitans, champions of the rival American Association, in a three-game championship series, and won all three games. It wasn't officially called the "World Series," but the Grays became undisputed world champions. The following year the Grays disbanded due to declining gate attendance.
