For the second straight year, the club from Boston captures the National Association Crown. From the start of the year, it was clear the Red Stockings were the club to beat as they flew out of the gate with a 20-4 record to start off the year. Behind MVP Ross Barnes tremendous hitting and the superb pitching of Al Spalding, Boston easily sailed to its second straight championship.
