The 1890 Louisville Colonels baseball team finished with an 88–44 record and won the American Association championship. The previous season the Colonels had lost 111 games the most any team in the major leagues had lost up to that point (the record was broken during the 1890 season by the Pittsburg Alleghenys who lost 113 games). This worst to first transformation was accomplished partly because of new ownership led by Barney Dreyfuss.
