The Providence Grays hired veteran manager Harry Wright to guide the team in 1882 and the team seemed to improve.
After the season ended, they played a three-game postseason series against the Boston Red Caps for the "Championship of New England."
Providence won the series, two games to one, thanks to shutouts pitched by John Montgomery Ward and Hoss Radbourn.
