ST. LOUIS BROWN STOCKINGS (19-45 in 1876)

St. Louis, the last-place team in 1876, has really added some quality hitters in their attempt to turn the club around. While they should be much better than last season's club, they still have a long way to go before challenging clubs such as Hartford or Chicago.

14 C Frank Selman (0-16-.262-1 with New York; lifetime .290 hitter) - After five seasons in New York, Selman returns west to play for St. Louis and hopefully help them to a somewhat better record.
12 1B Clipper Flynn (0-39-.302-2 with New York) - He should be a big improvement at first base for this club.
18 2B Jimmy Wood (0-39-.304-6) - He claims to be ecstatic over the new players he'll be playing with. At 34, he is running out of time to get his first championship.
2 SS George Wright (2-25-.288-12 with Boston) - He came over in a trade for Count Sensenderfer, and rumor has it that it was partly because his brother Harry thought he'd have a better chance of winning in St. Louis.
10 3B Ezra Sutton (0-15-.236-1 with Chicago) - He's an excellent fielder at third, but has always been something of a disappointment at the bat.
28 LF Charley Jones (0-45-.291-1) - One of the few bright spots on last year's club, he is moving from center field to left this year.
22 CF Frank McCarton (1-38-.335-0 with New York) - Only 22 years old, he is already one of the league's better hitters. A huge signing for St. Louis.
37 RF Mike Dorgan (rookie) - This 23-year-old is said to be an excellent hitter.
45 P Pud Galvin (16-34, 2.98; lifetime 25-68) - He's suffered a lot of losses in his career, but observers say he's a good hurler nonetheless.
