1891 Milwaukee Brewers season
The Milwaukee Brewers were an American baseball team. They were brought into the American Association from the Western League in August 1891 to replace the Cincinnati Kelly's Killers, who had ceased operations on August 17. In their only season as a major league team, they finished with a record of 21–15, finishing with a better winning percentage than all but two teams in the AA. After the season, the American Association itself folded, as did the Brewers.
