It is true that the Brooklyn club did win the final NL pennant of the 19thC in 1900. However the title on the piece says, "Champions 1900," which of course during this time period would indicate it is the 1899 team (also a pennant winner), not the 1900 team. The presence of John Anderson, Doc McJames, and Jim Hughes who were on the roster in 1899 but not in 1900 adds further support.

Still, a nice item.
To further confuse things, there is also a composite of the 1900 team that is labeled "Champions National League 1900".
