3 Feats to Watch For in October
1. Can Ross Barnes finish with an On Base Percentage (OBP) over .500?
The Boston third baseman currently has an OBP of .502, but with 14 games left in October, it might be tough for Barnes to keep that above .500.
2. Will the Boston Red Stockings be caught in the standings?
The Red Stockings have 14 games left and the 2nd place New York Mutuals have 7 games left on their respective schedules. The Red Stockings lead is 7.5 games, so mathematically, the Mutuals are not out of the Association race. Albeit, it will take a huge collapse from the Boston club for the Mutuals to take the crown.
3. Who will finish with the most RBI's at the end of the season?
This seems like a two man race between Boston's Cal McVey (53 RBI) and New York's George Hall (50 RBI). Clearly, if you were to place a wager on this, your money would have to go with McVey as his team has the twice the amount of games left then the Mutuals do.
Cal McVey and
George Hall
