June 15, 1879 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Cincinnati Reds 15-6 Syracuse Stars 13-8 Chicago White Stockings 12-9 Troy Trojans 11-9 Boston Red Caps 10-11 Providence Grays 10-11 Cleveland Blues 9-11 Buffalo Bisons 3-18 Cincinnati continues its run atop the league, while Boston is gradually beginning to play like the contenders they were expected to be. Cap Anson has been red-hot during Boston's recent run, and is 14 for his last 23 at-bats with 9 runs scored. Because of this, Anson now leads the league in basically every offensive category. This sets up an interesting battle, as Cincinnati is visiting Beantown this week. Someone's hot streak looks like it's going to end. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .444, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .474, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .567, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - 1.040, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 40, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 10, Paul Hines, Chicago and John Peters, Chicago Triples - 6, Fred Waterman, Cleveland Blues Home Runs - 2, 3 players tied Extra Base Hits - 13, Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings Total Bases - 51, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Runs Batted In - 22, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 25, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 5, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 6, 3 players tied Strikeouts - 19, Len Stockwell, Cleveland Blues RC/27 - 11.15, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .174, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons VORP (Batting) - 14.1, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.30, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues Wins - 11, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Losses - 11, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Saves - 1, George Bradley, Cleveland Blues Innings Pitched - 126 1/3, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Shutouts - 2, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Walks - 16, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans Strikeouts - 72, Harry Wheeler, Providence Grays H/9IP - 7.56, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues HR/9IP - 0.00, 6 players tied BB/9IP - 0.50, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/9IP - 5.72, Harry Wheeler, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 10.67, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .185, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues WHIP - 0.91, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues VORP (Pitching) - 28.2, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds 17-7 Chicago White Stockings 14-10 Syracuse Stars 14-10 Troy Trojans 13-10 Providence Grays 13-11 Boston Red Caps 11-13 Cleveland Blues 9-14 Buffalo Bisons 4-20 Even Cap Anson and the hard-hitting Red Caps could not slow down the Cincinnati Reds, as Cincy took two of three to continue their surprising run atop the National League standings. However, a true test lies ahead; for the next five games, Cincinnati will be battling with the second-place Chicago White Stockings. Chicago appears to be rounding into midseason form, and just got long-injured shortstop John Bass back in their lineup. However, the White Stockings are still not certain what this will mean for John Peters, who has filled in quite capably so far this year. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .433, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .464, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .538, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - 1.002, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 45, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 12, John Peters, Chicago White Stockings Triples - 6, Fred Waterman, Cleveland Blues Home Runs - 2, 3 players tied Extra Base Hits - 14, Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings Total Bases - 56, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Runs Batted In - 25, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 27, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 6, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 8, Charlie Bennett, Troy Trojans Strikeouts - 24, Len Stockwell, Cleveland Blues RC/27 - 10.40, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .162, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons VORP (Batting) - 15.5, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.30, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues Wins - 13, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Losses - 12, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Saves - 1, 3 players tied Innings Pitched - 149 1/3, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Shutouts - 2, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati and The Only Nolan, Syracuse Walks - 18, Curry Foley, Boston and The Only Nolan, Syracuse Strikeouts - 73, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds H/9IP - 7.56, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues HR/9IP - 0.00, 6 players tied BB/9IP - 0.45, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/9IP - 5.80, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 13.00, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .185, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues WHIP - 0.91, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues VORP (Pitching) - 30.8, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds 18-9 Chicago White Stockings 16-11 Syracuse Stars 16-11 Boston Red Caps 16-13 Troy Trojans 14-12 Providence Grays 13-16 Cleveland Blues 9-17 Buffalo Bisons 7-20 Cincinnati dropped two of three to Chicago this week, and with games coming up this week against Chicago and Syracuse, this race could get a whole lot more interesting. Meanwhile, Boston had five games in five days against the Providence Grays and won all five of them, catapulting themselves back into the thick of the race. Individually, Cleveland's Dalrymple and Boston's Anson continue to be the league's best hitters, while left-hander Bobby Mitchell of Cincinnati continues to impress as a hurler. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .431, Abner Dalrymple, Cleveland Blues On-Base Percentage - .459, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .504, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - .963, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 51, Cap Anson, Boston and Cal McVey, Boston Doubles - 12, Paul Hines, Chicago and John Peters, Chicago Triples - 6, Fred Waterman, Cleveland Blues Home Runs - 2, 4 players tied Extra Base Hits - 15, Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings Total Bases - 62, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Runs Batted In - 30, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 34, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 8, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 10, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Strikeouts - 25, Len Stockwell, Cleveland Blues RC/27 - 10.61, Abner Dalrymple, Cleveland Blues ISO - .150, Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings VORP (Batting) - 16.8, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.68, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 14, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Losses - 12, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Saves - 1, 4 players tied Innings Pitched - 166 1/3, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Shutouts - 2, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati and The Only Nolan, Syracuse Walks - 19, Curry Foley, Boston Red Caps Strikeouts - 83, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds H/9IP - 7.68, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans HR/9IP - 0.00, 7 players tied BB/9IP - 0.53, George Knight, Cincinnati Reds K/9IP - 6.10, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 11.33, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .206, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues WHIP - 0.97, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans VORP (Pitching) - 33.5, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

July 6, 1879 - Sunday Base Ball Report Cincinnati Reds 21-10 Chicago White Stockings 18-13 Boston Red Caps 18-14 Syracuse Stars 18-14 Troy Trojans 16-15 Providence Grays 14-18 Buffalo Bisons 12-20 Cleveland Blues 9-22 Trailing first-place Cincinnati by three games, Chicago's pennant chances took another turn for the worse this week, as oft-injured shortstop John Bass fractured his ankle and will be out of action until nearly the end of the season. After missing over a year with a back injury, the highly-paid infielder appeared in only 8 games (batting .265) before succumbing. This seems certain to damage Chicago's hopes for a fourth consecutive pennant. Meanwhile, the hard-hitting Boston club continues to creep up in the standings. They will be traveling to Cincinnati late in the week, so things could get a lot more interesting in a hurry. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .410, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .450, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .496, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - .946, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 60, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 12, Paul Hines, Chicago and John Peters, Chicago Triples - 6, Fred Waterman, Cleveland Blues Home Runs - 2, 5 players tied Extra Base Hits - 16, Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings Total Bases - 69, Cap Anson, Boston and Cal McVey, Boston Runs Batted In - 38, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 39, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 9, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 10, Cap Anson, Boston and Charlie Bennett, Troy Strikeouts - 29, Len Stockwell, Cleveland Blues RC/27 - 9.42, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .158, Charlie Eden, Chicago White Stockings VORP (Batting) - 18.3, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.62, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 15, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Losses - 13, Jim McCormick, Cleveland Blues Saves - 1, 5 players tied Innings Pitched - 187 1/3, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans Shutouts - 2, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati and The Only Nolan, Syracuse Walks - 22, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars Strikeouts - 90, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds H/9IP - 8.26, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans HR/9IP - 0.00, 6 players tied BB/9IP - 0.54, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/9IP - 5.98, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 11.14, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .212, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues WHIP - 1.03, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans VORP (Pitching) - 37.6, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

On the whole, the National League is currently batting .253 on the year. The second-highest team average belongs to Chicago, hitting .267. Boston's team average is .309. National League teams by runs scored/game: Boston - 8.2 Buffalo - 6.5 Providence - 6.5 Chicago - 6.1 Cleveland - 6.0 Syracuse - 5.9 Cincinnati - 5.8 Troy - 5.4 Meanwhile, Chicago just can't get healthy. This past week, J. O'Neill, Paul Hines and Charlie Eden all suffered injuries during games for Chicago. While none of the injuries is serious, these nagging problems continue to take their toll as the defending champions try to make a run at the top spot.

This week sees the Red Caps visit Cleveland (two games) and Syracuse (one game), while Cincinnati takes on Troy (one game) and Chicago (two games). Cap Anson is on pace to have a truly historic season in Boston. With the season nearing the halfway point, he currently has the 11th-best season of all time by VORP. At this pace, he'll have the greatest season of all time sometime in early August. He leads the batting race by 66 points, has 80 hits (there is only one other player with more than 67 - his teammate Cal McVey), 54 runs scored - 18 more than the next-highest player not playing for Boston, and also leads the league in on-base percentage and stolen bases. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .442, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .477, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .547, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - 1.024, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 80, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 13, Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings Triples - 7, Frank Selman, Buffalo and Fred Waterman, Cleveland Home Runs - 3, John O'Rourke, Boston Red Caps Extra Base Hits - 17, Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings Total Bases - 99, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Runs Batted In - 48, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 54, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 10, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 13, Steve Bellan, Cincinnati Reds Strikeouts - 32, Len Stockwell, Cleveland Blues RC/27 - 11.55, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .157, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons VORP (Batting) - 27.6, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.86, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans Wins - 18, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Losses - 17, Jim McCormick, Cleveland Blues Saves - 1, 7 players tied Innings Pitched - 225, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Shutouts - 2, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati and The Only Nolan, Syracuse Walks - 28, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars Strikeouts - 115, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds H/9IP - 8.65, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans HR/9IP - 0.00, 4 players tied BB/9IP - 0.57, George Knight, Cincinnati Reds K/9IP - 5.69, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 9.36, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .209, Martin Malone, Cleveland Blues WHIP - 1.06, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans VORP (Pitching) - 41.7, Pud Galvin, Troy Trojans

At this point, it does not look good for Chicago as they shoot for their fourth consecutive title - they are coming off two consecutive losses to Cincinnati, in which they were outscored 18-1. Meanwhile, Boston plays Syracuse and Troy for the next several weeks.

Cincinnati Reds 31-15 Boston Red Caps 31-17 Chicago White Stockings 26-21 Syracuse Stars 26-21 Troy Trojans 22-22 Providence Grays 20-28 Buffalo Bisons 16-30 Cleveland Blues 14-32 Wow, the Chicago White Stockings are completely snakebit this season. Yesterday, they lost star first baseman Joe Start to a season-ending rib injury. This follows long-term injuries to Paul Hines and John Bass, and starters Bill McClellan, George Gore, and J. O'Neill have also missed significant time this season due to injury. It seems virtually certain that they'd be near the top of the league's standings if not for all the injuries, but now they are just trying to stay in the running.

August 17, 1879 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Boston Red Caps 35-21 Cincinnati Reds 34-16 Syracuse Stars 31-24 Chicago White Stockings 30-25 Troy Trojans 29-24 Providence Grays 21-36 Buffalo Bisons 18-35 Cleveland Blues 17-34 It appears that injuries are going to play a large role in this year's National League pennant race. Chicago's injury problems are well-documented, and they are still missing Joe Start, Paul Hines, and John Bass. This week, the other two major contenders also suffered big losses - Boston's Cap Anson went down with an arm injury that is expected to keep him out another three weeks, and Cincinnati lost their young star King Kelly for approximately two weeks. This rash of downed players has teams like Syracuse and Troy wondering if they can sneak into a contending position as a result. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .402, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .442, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .502, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - .944, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 97, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 15, Charley Jones, Providence Grays Triples - 9, Mike McGeary, Syracuse Stars Home Runs - 4, John O'Rourke, Boston and Joe Start, Chicago Extra Base Hits - 24, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons Total Bases - 121, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Runs Batted In - 50, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 68, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 12, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 17, Cap Anson, Boston and Steve Bellan, Cincinnati Strikeouts - 43, Charlie Bennett, Troy Trojans RC/27 - 9.29, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .162, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons VORP (Batting) - 30.3, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.94, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 24, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Losses - 22, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Saves - 1, 9 players tied Innings Pitched - 318 1/3, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars Shutouts - 4, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Walks - 36, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars Strikeouts - 158, Pud Galvin, Troy and Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati H/9IP - 8.78, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds HR/9IP - 0.00, John Greason, Boston and John Montgomery Ward, Providence BB/9IP - 0.61, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/9IP - 5.56, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 9.18, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .233, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds WHIP - 1.07, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds VORP (Pitching) - 53.9, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

August 24, 1879 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Boston Red Caps 38-23 Cincinnati Reds 36-18 Syracuse Stars 35-25 Chicago White Stockings 32-28 Troy Trojans 30-27 Providence Grays 22-39 Cleveland Blues 21-36 Buffalo Bisons 19-37 As the battle for National League supremacy continues, Syracuse is quietly moving toward the top of the standings. The Stars were expected to be one of the NL's worst teams this year, and indeed their lineup doesn't look like much - catcher Mike Hooper (.278) is the best-hitting regular. However, thanks to some good pitching and defense they are holding their own even against the established powerhouses of the league. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .402, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .442, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .502, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - .944, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 99, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 16, 4 players tied Triples - 10, Bill McClellan, Chicago White Stockings Home Runs - 4, John O'Rourke, Boston and Joe Start, Chicago Extra Base Hits - 24, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons Total Bases - 121, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Runs Batted In - 53, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 68, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 12, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 18, Steve Bellan, Cincinnati and Charlie Bennett, Troy Strikeouts - 46, Charlie Bennett, Troy Trojans RC/27 - 9.29, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .156, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons VORP (Batting) - 30.3, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 2.00, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 24, 3 players tied Losses - 23, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Saves - 2, 3 players tied Innings Pitched - 345 1/3, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars Shutouts - 4, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Walks - 37, Pud Galvin, Troy and Dick McBride, Buffalo Strikeouts - 170, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds H/9IP - 8.88, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds HR/9IP - 0.00, John Greason, Boston and John Montgomery Ward, Providence BB/9IP - 0.60, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/9IP - 5.57, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 9.35, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .229, George Knight, Cincinnati Reds WHIP - 1.07, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds VORP (Pitching) - 54.7, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

Boston Red Caps 41-25 Cincinnati Reds 39-20 Syracuse Stars 39-26 Chicago White Stockings 34-29 Troy Trojans 32-30 Cleveland Blues 23-39 Providence Grays 23-43 Buffalo Bisons 20-39 As the season heads into its final month, it looks like a three-team race for the pennant between Boston, Cincinnati and Syracuse. (Chicago and Troy aren't completely out of the running, but both teams would need a miracle to win it.) Boston's hitting-oriented team seems to have the upper hand, but the great pitching staffs on Cincinnati and Syracuse are sure to keep things interesting. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .402, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .442, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .502, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - .944, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 105, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 17, 3 players tied Triples - 10, Bill McClellan, Chicago White Stockings Home Runs - 4, John O'Rourke, Boston and Joe Start, Chicago Extra Base Hits - 25, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons Total Bases - 125, 3 players tied Runs Batted In - 54, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 68, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 12, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 20, Steve Bellan, Cincinnati Reds Strikeouts - 53, Charlie Bennett, Troy Trojans RC/27 - 9.29, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .151, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons VORP (Batting) - 30.3, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.87, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 27, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati and The Only Nolan, Syracuse Losses - 25, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Saves - 2, 4 players tied Innings Pitched - 373 1/3, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars Shutouts - 6, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Walks - 41, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Strikeouts - 181, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds H/9IP - 8.73, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds HR/9IP - 0.00, John Greason, Boston and John Montgomery Ward, Providence BB/9IP - 0.59, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps K/9IP - 5.57, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 9.35, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .232, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds WHIP - 1.06, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds VORP (Pitching) - 64.7, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

September 7, 1879 - Sunday Base Ball Report

(Syracuse has played well, but it is believed that they are about to suspend their season due to financial difficulties.) Here are the remaining schedules: Boston: 3 vs. Chicago (home), 3 vs. Cincinnati (home), 3 vs. Cleveland (home), 6 vs. Providence (3 home, 3 road) Cincinnati: 3 vs. Troy (away), 3 vs. Boston (away), 3 vs. Providence (away), 4 vs. Buffalo (away), 4 vs. Cleveland (away) Thus, Cincinnati will need to perform well on the road if they are to take the pennant this year. In addition, Boston finally has all three members of their "big three" healthy for the first time in months, making the Reds' task still more difficult. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .402, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .441, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .500, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - .941, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 111, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 19, Clipper Flynn, Cincinnati Reds Triples - 10, Bill McClellan, Chicago White Stockings Home Runs - 4, 3 players tied Extra Base Hits - 27, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons Total Bases - 133, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Runs Batted In - 56, Ross Barnes, Boston Red Caps Runs Scored - 70, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Stolen Bases - 12, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Walks - 20, Steve Bellan, Cincinnati and Charlie Bennett, Troy Strikeouts - 55, Charlie Bennett, Troy Trojans RC/27 - 9.11, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps ISO - .151, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons VORP (Batting) - 30.4, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Earned Run Average - 1.87, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 28, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati and The Only Nolan, Syracuse Losses - 25, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Saves - 3, George Bradley, Cleveland Blues Innings Pitched - 391 1/3, The Only Nolan, Syracuse Stars Shutouts - 6, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds Walks - 42, Dick McBride, Buffalo Bisons Strikeouts - 194, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds H/9IP - 8.77, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds HR/9IP - 0.00, John Greason, Boston Red Caps BB/9IP - 0.63, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps K/9IP - 5.50, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays K/BB Ratio - 8.40, John Montgomery Ward, Providence Grays Opp. Avg. - .232, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds WHIP - 1.06, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds VORP (Pitching) - 68.7, Bobby Mitchell, Cincinnati Reds

For the Reds, it looks like their pennant hopes will come down to winning the final game between the two teams and then hoping lowly Providence can steal a few from the Beantowners.

FINAL 1879 STANDINGS AND LEADERS Boston Red Caps 56-28 Cincinnati Reds 49-31 Syracuse Stars 40-30 Chicago White Stockings 40-39 Troy Trojans 36-39 Cleveland Blues 35-47 Buffalo Bisons 30-48 Providence Grays 30-54 In the end, Boston didn't have any trouble at all. The hitting attack of the Red Caps was simply too much for the competition, as Harry Wright's "big three" of Anson, McVey and Barnes returned the championship of base ball to the city of Boston for the first time since 1872. With all three members of the trio under contract through at least 1882, this could be a new dynasty in the making. However, look for a big challenge next season from both the pitching-heavy Reds and a (hopefully) healthy Chicago club. In other news, the Syracuse franchise has announced that it will be folding. To keep the National League roster at eight clubs, there will be a new team based in Worcester, MA, next season. The final league leaders: Batting Average - .389, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps On-Base Percentage - .420, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Slugging Percentage - .511, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps OPS - .931, Cap Anson, Boston Red Caps Hits - 135, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 22, Clipper Flynn, Cincinnati Reds Triples - 12, Pete Hotaling, Cincinnati Reds Home Runs - 5, John O'Rourke, Boston Red Caps Extra Base Hits - 33, Frank Selman, Buffalo Bisons Total B |
