Cartwright Award - Nominees

National League

Tommy Bond, Detroit Wolverines* - RHP (21-11, 2.54, 290.1 IP, 308 H, 31 BB 83 K, 3 HR) - Bond was on his way to challenging for the Cartwright Award when he went down with a season-ending injury on September 1 and missed the pennant race drama. Now his future is uncertain, as he may miss all of 1883 and his contract is up with Detroit. Will some team take a chance and sign him injury and all?

Larry Corcoran, Chicago White Stockings - RHP (25-17, 2.30, 399.2 IP, 392 H, 77 BB, 228 K, 7 HR) - He still hasn't recaptured the magic of his amazing 1880 rookie season, but he had another big year and was probably the only thing standing between Chicago and last place in the NL.

George Derby, Detroit Wolverines - RHP (17-13, 2.01, 260.1 IP, 247 H, 38 BB, 123 K, 3 HR) - This young player only started 33 games for Detroit, but he was extremely effective in those games.

Curry Foley, Boston Red Caps - LHP (27-12, 2.10, 381.2 IP, 352 H, 51 BB, 139 K, 4 HR) - Boston's hitters have always been the focus of attention, but with a huge year this year Foley showed that their pitching is pretty good as well.

Harry Wheeler, Providence Grays - RHP (22-26, 2.27, 395.2 IP, 395 H, 90 BB, 157 K, 9 HR) - Wheeler was a workhorse for a Providence club that finally tasted a small measure of success for the first time in its history.

American Association

Foghorn Bradley, Louisville Eclipse - RHP (28-11, 1.97, 324.1 IP, 310 H, 21 BB, 83 K, 2 HR) - After three excellent years as Boston's #2 starter, he headed to Louisville to be the main guy again and did an outstanding job, helping lead the Eclipse to the first AA pennant.

Bert Dorr, St. Louis Brown Stockings - RHP (24-13, 2.22, 327.2 IP, 329 H, 42 BB, 205 K, 5 HR) - This rookie strikeout artist had a great year for St. Louis and kept them in the pennant race all year.

Pud Galvin, Philadelphia Athletics - RHP (14-24, 2.13, 326 IP, 349 H, 39 BB, 156 K, 2 HR) - Galvin was the Athletics' big signing, and they surrounded him with terrible players. He had a good year but lost a lot of games because of terrible hitting and terrible fielding. Has a career record of 176-205 and is still only 25 years old.

Terry Larkin, Baltimore Orioles - RHP (23-18, 2.23, 323.1 IP, 368 H, 24 BB, 84 K, 5 HR) - At age 34, he finally had a breakout season this year with the Orioles after years as a mop-up pitcher in Boston.

Jumbo McGinnis, St. Louis Brown Stockings - RHP (18-10, 1.59, 215.1 IP, 184 H, 16 BB, 113 K, 1 HR) - His numbers were even better than Dorr's, so if he can keep this up he could be a real star. A 28-year-old rookie.

And the 1882 Cartwright Award winners are... CURRY FOLEY in the National League, and FOGHORN BRADLEY in the American Association. For both players, this is their first win, although each of them has attracted some Cartwright attention in the past. In the NL, the voting was surprisingly one-sided, while Bradley barely beat out the two St. Louis pitchers for his award.
