Weird. I've never had a dynasty thread hit 10,000 views before. I'M KING OF THE WORLD
July 1, 1883 - Sunday Base Ball Report
National League
Boston Beaneaters 29-12
Providence Grays 26-17
Buffalo Bisons 22-16
Chicago White Stockings 23-17
Cleveland Blues 22-18
New York Gothams 20-20
Philadelphia Quakers 13-30
Detroit Wolverines 9-34
Boston's hitting still has them leading the pack in the National League. Although Providence, Buffalo, Chicago and Cleveland are all within striking distance, they are going to have to close the hitting gap with Boston to have a shot at denying them their fourth NL championship. As long as Anson (.411), Barnes (.333), O'Rourke (.324) and Houck (.332) continue hitting the way they have been, this seems unlikely. These four players are all in the top seven in the NL in hitting (joined by Dan Brouthers of New York (.367), Fred Mann of Philadelphia (.339) and Fred Dunlap of Cleveland (.331)).

American Association
Columbus Buckeyes 27-12
St. Louis Browns 27-12
Baltimore Orioles 23-16
Pittsburgh Alleghenys 19-18
Cincinnati Red Stockings 17-20
Louisville Eclipse 16-21
Philadelphia Athletics 14-25
New York Metropolitans 10-29
St. Louis got hot this past week and moved into a tie with Columbus for first place in the AA. However, observers are starting to wonder what happened to last year's pennant winners, the 16-21 Louisville Eclipse.
This was the 1882 team:
C Dan Sullivan (.248)
1B John Glenn (.284)
2B John Strick (.205)
SS Bill Schenck (.233)
3B Jimmy Say (.250)
LF Leech Maskrey (.278)
CF Pete Browning (.403)
RF Chicken Wolf (.314)
P Foghorn Bradley (28-11, 1.97)
P John Cassidy (14-8, 1.83)
And here is this year's club:
C Chicken Wolf (.265)
1B Jim Carleton (.203)
2B John Strick (.222)
SS Phil Reccius (.229)
3B Jimmy Say (.271)
LF Leech Maskrey (.212)
CF Pete Browning (.325)
RF John Reccius (.254)
P Guy Hecker (9-7, 2.18)
P Foghorn Bradley (5-11, 2.58)
The two main observations: they miss John Glenn, and they need last year's outfield of Maskrey-Browning-Wolf to have a stellar year to remain competitive. Instead, all three are suffering from a sophomore slump, and it has the team mired in the second division.
