The 1902 St. Louis Browns season was the first for the franchise in St. Louis, after moving from Milwaukee. The team finished second in the American League with a record of 78 wins and 58 losses.

Regular season

The Milwaukee Brewers of the American League decided to relocate to St. Louis for the 1902 season. Ownership chose the name "Browns" on purpose, as the St. Louis Browns had won American Association titles from 1885 to 1889.[1] That team moved to the National League in 1892, became the Perfectos in 1899, and has been known as the Cardinals since 1900.[1]

The new Browns quickly tried to align itself with fans by raiding the rival Cardinals.[1] A couple of Cardinals players were signed, including slick fielding future Hall of Fame shortstop Bobby Wallace and 1901 National League batting champion outfielder Jesse Burkett.[1] The moves paid off for the team. While playing as the 1901 Brewers, the team had a record of 48–89 (.350) and finished in eighth place, while the 1902 Browns played to a record of 78–58 (.574) and finished in second place.[1]
