FINAL 1880 STANDINGS AND LEADERS
Boston Red Caps 54-30
Cleveland Blues 51-33
Chicago White Stockings 48-36
Troy Trojans 43-40
Cincinnati Reds 42-38
Buffalo Bisons 38-44
Providence Grays 30-54
Worcester Ruby Legs 26-57
So Boston's "Big Three" managed its second consecutive championship in 1880 despite a slow start, although the young Cleveland Blues look like they might have the stuff to sustain a rivalry. Also, Chicago appears to be retooling on the fly, thanks to the great stuff of rookie pitcher Larry Corcoran. With Cincinnati's players due to be scattered this offseason, things could get interesting - however, the smart money says that Boston and Chicago will continue to be at the top of the league, along with Cleveland and possibly the young Trojans.
