The 1889 Major League baseball season began on April 17, 1889. The regular season ended on October 15, with the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Bridegrooms as regular season champions of the National League and American Association, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the sixth World's Championship Series on October 18 and ended with Game 9 on October 29, in what was a best-of-eleven-playoff. The Giants defeated the Dodgers, six games to three, capturing their second consecutive World's Championship Series.
Over the offseason, the National League's Detroit Wolverines folded, and saw them replaced by the American Association's Cleveland Blues, renamed to the Cleveland Spiders. In Cleveland's AA place, the Columbus Solons were enfranchised. This was the final season of the NL's Indianapolis Hoosiers & Washington Nationals, and the AA's Kansas City Cowboys.
