First Half Review

The Brooklyn Superbas have bounced back from their 7th place finish from a year ago (65-75) to take a two game lead over the defending champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Brooklyn has scored the 5th most runs in the league, and given up the 3rd least. Fourth overall pick Jim St. Vrain is 6-7 with a 2.93 ERA.

Over in the American League, the Orioles are showing promise after their 6th place finish last year (67-73). The team is being led by offense, as they rank first in batting average, 2nd in walks, 1st in stolen bases, and 1st in runs scored.

Pop Foster is on a crushing pace, as he has 9 homeruns at the break. Socks Seybold holds the league record with 12 homeruns. Foster also has a shot for the triple crown, as he is first in average, first in homeruns, and 3rd in RBI, 3 behind Baltimore SS Bill Keister.

Cy Young is showing age is just a number, the 35 year old has a league leading 1.56 ERA.

Third round pick George "Deerfoot" Barclay is having an impressive rookie season with a .288 batting average and 26 steals. First overall pick Addie Joss is 7-7 with a 2.98 ERA for the Cleveland Bronchos.
