Today in …

1892 – Hub Collins, an outfielder with the Brooklyn Bridegrooms (today's Los Angeles Dodgers) dies of typhoid fever at the age of 28. Seven days earlier, he had left a game in the ninth inning against the Beaneaters in Boston because of a “cold.” Collins declined rapidly, and his wife was called from Louisville to his bedside. But he passed away by the time she arrived. On May 29, the Bridegrooms will hold a benefit game for Collins' widow. A crowd of 7,126 attends and over $3,000 is raised. The Brooklyn club plays a team made up of rivals from the New York Giants, Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Browns, losing 6-1.
