So, um... in case I didn't mention it, Boston scores a lot more runs than most of the teams. At any rate, this calls for an avatar change to George Wright of the Boston Red Stockings, who incidentally is one of the earliest Hall of Famers in real life, along with his older brother Harry, who is primarily in as a pioneer although he too was a player (in my league he retired after the 1873 season).
