Thanks. I'm sure I'll have fun with it - hopefully I can keep it fun for everyone else too.
And now, on to the good stuff:

New York Mutuals 12-5

Philadelphia Athletics 11-6
Chicago White Stockings 11-7
Cincinnati Reds 8-10
Louisville Grays 8-10
St. Louis Brown Stockings 5-13
Boston Red Caps 4-14
The expected dominance of the eastern teams continues as surprising Hartford makes a run at the league lead, fueled by stars Cap Anson and Count Gedney. Anson's hitting streak now stands at 42 games and counting, while Gedney is off to an unbelievable start, hitting .486 and winning the Batter of the Month Award for May. They are also getting huge contributions from Fred Waterman (.375), Bill Harbidge (.346), and Orator Shaffer (.311).
