Well, I've finally made it to October 1, 1875, so I thought I'd fire up another update:
Philadelphia Athletics 46-15
Boston Red Stockings 48-20
Philadelphia Whites 42-19
New York Mutuals 41-21
St. Louis Red Stockings (defunct) 9-10
Keokuk Westerns (defunct) 5-8
Chicago White Stockings 23-31
New Haven Elm Citys 17-27
Washington Nationals (defunct) 9-19
Brooklyn Atlantics 16-27
Philadelphia Centennials (defunct) 0-14
St. Louis Brown Stockings 19-37
Hartford Dark Blues 19-46
League Leaders:
Batting - George Hall, New York Mutuals, .386
Home Runs - 4 tied with 2 each
Runs Batted In - John Bass, Hartford Dark Blues, 61
Runs Scored - Dickie Flowers, New York Mutuals, 84
Hits - Mike McGeary, Philadelphia Whites, 112
Doubles - Ross Barnes, Boston Red Stockings, 18
Triples - Lip Pike, Hartford and Ed Pinkham, Brooklyn, 10 each
Stolen Bases - Dickie Flowers, New York Mutuals, 39
Wins - Dick McBride, Philadelphia Athletics, 22
ERA - Candy Cummings, New York Mutuals, 1.72
Strikeouts - Dick McBride, Athletics and Bill Stearns, Whites, 23 each
Opponent Average - Candy Cummings, New York Mutuals, .219
I've decided to go with an even more faded avatar for a bit - Dickie Flowers of the Mutuals. Flowers has 19 runs scored more than anyone else in base ball at this point, which is quite an achievement considering he doesn't play for the high-powered Bostons or Athletics.
