1908 Brooklyn Superbas season

The 1908 Brooklyn Superbas suffered through another poor season, finishing in seventh place. After the season, manager Patsy Donovan was fired. The club set a Major League record which still stands, for the fewest doubles by a team in a season, with only 110. The Superbas hit only.213 as a team, second lowest in the modern era after the 1910 Chicago White Sox. No regulars hit.250, Tim Jordan led the team with a.247 batting average.

Offseason
