July 9, 1882 - Sunday Base Ball Report

National League

Boston Red Caps 28-14
Detroit Wolverines 23-18
Providence Grays 23-18
Cleveland Blues 21-20
Troy Trojans 19-23
Buffalo Bisons 18-22
Chicago White Stockings 16-24
Worcester Ruby Legs 16-25

And we've reached the halfway point of the 1882 season, with Boston looking very good following their sweep of the Detroit Wolverines. However, they are getting some pressure from a very unlikely source: the Providence Grays. Providence started the season in their usual fashion, quickly falling into the second division with an 8-14 record through 22 games. However, since then the team has been an astonishing 15-4, and they are now tied for second place. If they can continue to play first-rate base ball, Boston may be in for a fight.

The half-season awards:

MVH: Dan Brouthers, Troy (2-28-.377-11). His team may be a disappointment, but he certainly hasn't been. Amazingly, he's still only 24 years old, so there's room to improve. Honorable mention: Cap Anson, Boston (2-36-.362-12); Ross Barnes, Boston (3-36-.355-5).

Cartwright Award: Curry Foley, Boston (13-7, 2.36). He never seems to get recognized as a great pitcher, but he has the Red Caps in position to return to the top of the National League. Honorable mention: Larry Corcoran, Chicago (12-10, 2.43); Tommy Bond, Detroit (13-9, 2.53).

Rookie of the Year: Sam Wise, Detroit (0-15-.274-5). This slick-fielding middle infielder has improved the Wolverines on both offense and defense. Honorable mention: John Schappert, Cleveland (6-6, 2.83); John Irwin, Worcester (0-8-.264-2).

Surprise of the Year: Pete Hotaling, Detroit (4-36-.352-0). He'd never hit above .276 before this season, and suddenly he's having an MVH-type season. Honorable mention: Joe Sommer, Providence (1-24-.298-7); Charlie Eden, Chicago (1-18-.296-0).

Disappointment of the Year: George Wood, Worcester (0-18-.199-0). He was supposed to be a rising star, but so far he's shown little of that promise. Dishonorable mention: Mike Dorgan, Boston (1-14-.211-2); Frank McCarton, Providence (1-11-.241-1).

The current league leaders:

Batting Average - .377, Dan Brouthers, Troy Trojans

American Association

St. Louis Brown Stockings 24-14
Louisville Eclipse 20-13
Baltimore Orioles 17-14
Cincinnati Red Stockings 16-20
Pittsburgh Alleghenys 13-17
Philadelphia Athletics 12-24

Although St. Louis continues to lead the AA as they have all season, it's getting to be quite a battle. St. Louis has been only 7-9 over their last 16 games, so there is a possible opening for Louisville or even Baltimore. However, Louisville will be hindered in this battle by a couple of recent injuries. Both Guy Hecker and Chicken Wolf went onto the 60-day disabled list this week with serious injuries. It is not yet known whether either will be back this season, but fortunately neither injury is considered career-threatening.

The half-season awards:

MVH: Charlie Comiskey, St. Louis (1-17-.313-14). This scrappy infielder leads the AA in runs scored, and is helping lead his team to the top of the standings. Honorable mention: Tom Brown, Baltimore (2-26-.338-0); Pete Browning, Louisville (1-25-.315-6).

Cartwright Award: Jumbo McGinnis, St. Louis (8-5, 1.44). He's been nearly unhittable so far this season, so even though he's only his team's #2 starter, he's the league's best. Honorable mention: Bert Dorr, St. Louis (10-5, 2.24); John "Lefty" McMullin, Pittsburgh (7-10, 1.36).

Rookie of the Year: Charlie Comiskey, St. Louis (1-17-.313-14). He looks like he'll be a star for years to come. Honorable mention: Jumbo McGinnis, St. Louis (8-5, 1.44); Tom Brown, Baltimore (2-26-.338-0).
