July 24 – Seven Chicago White Stockings collect at least 4 hits and six score at least 4 runs in Chicago's 35–4 pasting of the Cleveland Blues.

September 22 – The National League announces that the Troy Trojans and Worcester Ruby Legs will be removed from the league following the season.

September 28 – The Chicago White Stockings win their 3rd consecutive National League pennant with an 11–5 victory over the Buffalo Bisons.
September 28 – The Worcester Ruby Legs lose to the Troy Trojans 4–1 in front of 6 people. The 2 teams are by far the worst in the league and have already been given the official boot from the National League.

= October–December

=
October 4 – The Cincinnati Red Stockings of the American Association defeat the Cleveland Blues of the National League 5–2 in an exhibition game. It is the first victory by an AA team after losing the first 22 times to the NL.
October 6 – In the first post-season meeting of league champions, the Cincinnati Red Stockings of the American Association defeat the Chicago White Stockings 4–0.
October 7 – The Chicago White Stockings even their series with the Cincinnati Red Stockings with a 2–0 victory. Cincinnati will drop out of the series under threats of expulsion by the American Association.
October 28 – The Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association announce that the club turned a $22,000 profit during the 1882 season. It is more than any team in the National League made and gives credibility to the fledgling AA.
November 18 – A court rules in favor of player Charlie Bennett over the Pittsburgh Alleghenys of the American Association. Bennett had signed a $100 agreement to sign a contract to play for Pittsburgh in 1883. Instead, he ended up re-signing with the Detroit Wolverines of the National League. This case will be a factor in the player/owner battles of 1889–1890 that results in the formation of the Players' League.
November 22 – John Day, owner of the New York Gothams, proposes a resolution that would prohibit teams from signing players who had broken the reserve clause. Both leagues will ultimately adopt this proposal and turn the reserve clause from a protection against roster-raiding by other clubs into an item used against hard-bargaining players. The Gothams will join the National League in 1883.
December – Abraham G. Mills is elected the new president of the National League.
December 6 – The National League formally admits the New York Gothams and the Philadelphia Quakers.
December 14 – The American Association hires a permanent staff of umpires who will be scheduled, paid and overseen by the league rather than individual teams. It will eventually become the standard practice in every professional league, regardless of sport.
