Now, on to the important stuff: May 14, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report Chicago White Stockings 6-3 Louisville Grays 6-3 Philadelphia Athletics 6-3 New York Mutuals 6-4 Hartford Dark Blues 3-4 Cincinnati Reds 3-6 St. Louis Brown Stockings 3-6 Boston Red Caps 2-6 So far, the western teams have still not played against those from the east - that begins in another week. Expect all four eastern teams to rise in the standings at that point. Also, it's not quite clear why Boston continues to struggle so badly. All of the Red Caps' usual stars are hitting as they usually do - Barnes (.342), Foran (.378), McVey (.333) and Wright (.350). Although none of their other starters are hitting above .250, they still should be doing well enough to at least remain competitive. Meanwhile, Louisville continues its surprising run, although it is also a misleading one - the Grays are 5-1 against Cincinnati and St. Louis, two teams that will not be contenders this year. Now for the current statistics: Honest American Statistics Batting Average - .514, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Hits - 21, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Doubles - 5, 3 players tied Triples - 2, 3 players tied Home Runs - 1, 9 players tied Runs Batted In - 11, Count Gedney, Hartford and Al Thake, Chicago Runs Scored - 17, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Stolen Bases - 4, Lip Pike, New York Mutuals Walks - 5, Levi Meyerle, Chicago White Stockings Strikeouts - 5, "Big Jim" Clinton, Cincinnati and Paddy Quinn, St. Louis Wins - 6, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays Losses - 6, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps Innings Pitched - 78 2/3, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays Shutouts - 1, Ed Stratton, New York Mutuals Walks - 9, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics Strikeouts - 12, George "Grin" Bradley, St. Louis Brown Stockings Suspicious-Sounding, Possibly Un-American Statistics On-Base Percentage - .500, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Slugging Percentage - .743, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Extra Base Hits - 6, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Total Bases - 26, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Earned Run Average - 1.47, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics Saves - 1, Candy Cummings, New York and NFN O'Rourke, St. Louis Certainly Demon-Inspired Statistics From the Pit of Hell OPS - 1.243, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues RC/27 - 20.28, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues VORP (Batting) - 7.9, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues ISO - .229, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues VORP (Pitching) - 21.6, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics H/9IP - 8.36, J.

That is a shame, too many good people left in a huff over petty things. Some of those people I considered my friends. It would be nice if everyone involved could grow up and grow thicker skin and come back. Oh well  Anyways, I dont want to drag this off topic Im going to bask in the soft glow of 19th century baseball

May 21, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Chicago White Stockings 8-4 New York Mutuals 7-4 Philadelphia Athletics 7-4 Hartford Dark Blues 6-4 Cincinnati Reds 6-6 Louisville Grays 6-6 St. Louis Brown Stockings 4-8 Boston Red Caps 2-10 Starting this upcoming week, we will finally get to see how good the western teams really are, as they make their first trip eastward. League-leading Chicago will be visiting a tough Hartford club, which could get very interesting. In other news, Hartford's star first baseman Cap Anson has managed to tie the all-time professional base ball record hitting streak, as he has hit in a staggering 36 consecutive games. He will attempt to break that record on Tuesday, as Chicago comes to town. Also, his Hartford teammate Count Gedney has continued his astonishing run of hitting, and now leads the National League in all of the Triple Crown categories, as well as just about every other hitting category. Although he's had a solid career before this season, there's been nothing to suggest that he would do anything like this. The current statistics: Honest American Statistics Batting Average - .522, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Hits - 25, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Doubles - 8, John Bass, Philadelphia Athletics Triples - 2, 5 players tied Home Runs - 2, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Batted In - 12, 3 players tied Runs Scored - 22, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Stolen Bases - 4, Ross Barnes, Boston and Lip Pike, New York Walks - 6, Levi Meyerle, Chicago White Stockings Strikeouts - 6, "Big Jim" Clinton, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 7, J.

O'Neill, Chicago White Stockings Suspicious-Sounding, Possibly Un-American Statistics On-Base Percentage - .511, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Slugging Percentage - .783, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Extra Base Hits - 8, John Bass, Philadelphia and Count Gedney, Hartford Total Bases - 36, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Earned Run Average - 1.51, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics Saves - 1, 3 players tied Certainly Demon-Inspired Statistics From the Pit of Hell OPS - 1.293, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues RC/27 - 20.98, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues VORP (Batting) - 11.7, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues ISO - .261, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues VORP (Pitching) - 26.1, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics H/9IP - 8.82, J.

May 23, 1876 - Adrian "Cap" Anson didn't take long to set the all-time record with his 37th consecutive game with a hit. He got a base hit in the first inning and ended the game with three total hits, as the Hartfords cruised to a 13-4 victory over Chicago.

May 28, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report
New York Mutuals 10-4 Philadelphia Athletics 9-5 Chicago White Stockings 9-6 Hartford Dark Blues 8-5 Cincinnati Reds 8-7 Louisville Grays 7-8 St. Louis Brown Stockings 4-11 Boston Red Caps 3-12 As expected, the western teams were not as good as those from the eastern cities, as the east went 8-4 against the west this week. However, Chicago and Cincinnati both held their own, showing that the gap is not really all that great. In other news, Cap Anson's hitting streak is still alive, and now stands at an amazing 39 games. Will anyone ever be able to hold the star first baseman hitless? The only other question that is starting to develop is: what's the matter with Boston? This did not look like a last place team going into the season, yet their inexplicable slide continues. Although their core of Foran, Barnes, McVey and Wright is doing just fine, the supporting cast has been abominably bad, with Tom York hitting .153, Jimmy Hallinan at .185, John Glenn at .196 and John Clapp at .133. Still, the expectation is that they will move to the middle of the pack at some point - they can't really be this bad, can they? The current statistics: Honest American Statistics Batting Average - .475, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Hits - 29, Deacon White, Philadelphia Athletics Doubles - 9, John Bass, Philadelphia Athletics Triples - 3, Jim Foran, Boston Red Caps Home Runs - 2, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Batted In - 16, Orator Shaffer, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Scored - 25, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Stolen Bases - 4, 3 players tied Walks - 6, Levi Meyerle, Chicago White Stockings Strikeouts - 6, 3 players tied Wins - 8, 3 players tied Losses - 11, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps Innings Pitched - 127 1/3, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays Shutouts - 1, Dale Williams, Cincinnati and Ed Stratton, New York Walks - 11, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics Strikeouts - 19, J.

Anson's hitting streak now stands at 42 games and counting, while Gedney is off to an unbelievable start, hitting .486 and winning the Batter of the Month Award for May.

June 6, 1876, Hartford, CT - St. Louis pitcher Pud Galvin may not be inclined to look back upon this game as a great success. He gave up 13 hits, including two crucial ones in the bottom of the ninth that led to a 5-4 come-from-behind victory for the Dark Blues. However, he did something that no pitcher since June 21 of 1875 has been able to do: he held star hitter Cap Anson hitless at 0 for 5.
This stops Anson's incredible hitting streak at 42 games, and leaves the current longest active streak at 20 games, by Tom Barlow of the Chicago club.

June 11, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report
New York Mutuals 15-5 Hartford Dark Blues 13-6 Chicago White Stockings 13-8 Philadelphia Athletics 12-8 Louisville Grays 10-11 Cincinnati Reds 8-13 St. Louis Brown Stockings 6-15 Boston Red Caps 5-16 It is becoming clear that there is a huge gap between the haves (Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Hartford) and the have-nots (Boston and the rest of the western teams). Although it is still the early going, there is a danger that the four strong teams may lap the field soon. The current statistics: Honest American Statistics Batting Average - .452, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Hits - 40, Deacon White, Philadelphia Athletics Doubles - 10, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Triples - 4, Lip Pike, New York Mutuals Home Runs - 2, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Batted In - 23, Orator Shaffer, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Scored - 30, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Stolen Bases - 5, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Walks - 7, Levi Meyerle, Chicago White Stockings Strikeouts - 10, "Big Jim" Clinton, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 13, George Zettlein, Hartford Dark Blues Losses - 14, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps Innings Pitched - 173 2/3, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays Shutouts - 2, Ed Stratton, New York Mutuals Walks - 14, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics Strikeouts - 26, J.

New York Mutuals 17-6 Hartford Dark Blues 15-7 Philadelphia Athletics 14-9 Chicago White Stockings 14-10 Louisville Grays 11-13 Cincinnati Reds 9-15 St. Louis Brown Stockings 8-16 Boston Red Caps 6-18 With a two-game lead on Hartford and a three-game lead on Philadelphia and Chicago, it appears that the New York club is beginning to pull away from its competitors. If so, they could repeat their 1874 championship campaign. However, some observers believe that Hartford and Philadelphia are just as good as the Mutual club, and think the New York club has been playing over their heads. Here are the teams' runs scored and runs allowed to this point: New York 170 R, 129 RA Hartford 172 R, 128 RA Philadelphia 156 R, 97 RA The current statistics: Honest American Statistics Batting Average - .424, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Hits - 47, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Doubles - 11, John Bass, Philadelphia Athletics Triples - 4, Jim Foran, Boston and Lip Pike, New York Home Runs - 2, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Batted In - 23, Orator Shaffer, Hartford and Fred Waterman, Hartford Runs Scored - 35, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Stolen Bases - 5, Cal McVey, Boston and Al Thake, Chicago Walks - 8, Levi Meyerle, Chicago White Stockings Strikeouts - 11, "Big Jim" Clinton, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 15, George Zettlein, Hartford Dark Blues Losses - 16, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps Innings Pitched - 199 1/3, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays Shutouts - 2, Ed Stratton, New York Mutuals Walks - 14, Foghorn Bradley, Boston and Lon Knight, Philadelphia Strikeouts - 26, J.

June 25, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Hartford Dark Blues 17-7 New York Mutuals 17-9 Chicago White Stockings 17-10 Philadelphia Athletics 16-10 Louisville Grays 11-15 Cincinnati Reds 10-17 St. Louis Brown Stockings 9-18 Boston Red Caps 8-19 So much for the Mutual club pulling away. The Chicago White Stockings hosted New York for three games this past week and won them all, 9-4, 8-7 and 9-6, returning the National League to an extremely close four-team battle. The other big news for the week was at the bottom of the standings. Although Boston is having a truly terrible year this season, they had consecutive games in Cincinnati that contained some notable achievements. On Tuesday, they trounced the Reds, 24-4, with a 10-run ninth inning, and in the process leadoff hitter George Wright had an amazing 7 for 7 game. This was only the second time a player has ever managed to amass seven hits in one game, so Wright was understandably pleased. Then on Thursday, the Bostons won again, this time by a 4-2 tally. In that game, Foghorn Bradley carried a no-hit game into the eighth inning before Cincinnati's Barney Gilligan got a base hit. These are probably only anomalies in Boston's awful season, but at least it gives them some good news. The current statistics: Honest American Statistics Batting Average - .421, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Hits - 49, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Doubles - 12, John Bass, Philadelphia and Paul Hines, Chicago Triples - 5, Lip Pike, New York Mutuals Home Runs - 2, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Batted In - 27, Fred Waterman, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Scored - 35, Tom Barlow, Chicago White Stockings Stolen Bases - 6, Al Thake, Chicago White Stockings Walks - 8, Levi Meyerle, Chicago White Stockings Strikeouts - 12, "Big Jim" Clinton, Cincinnati Reds Wins - 17, George Zettlein, Hartford Dark Blues Losses - 17, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps Innings Pitched - 217 1/3, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays Shutouts - 2, Ed Stratton, New York Mutuals Walks - 15, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps Strikeouts - 33, Foghorn Bradley, Boston Red Caps Suspicious-Sounding, Possibly Un-American Statistics On-Base Percentage - .417, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Slugging Percentage - .579, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Extra Base Hits - 14, Fred Waterman, Hartford Dark Blues Total Bases - 62, Count Gedney, Hartford and Fred Waterman, Hartford Earned Run Average - 1.70, Dick McBride, Philadelphia Athletics Saves - 1, 7 players tied Certainly Demon-Inspired Statistics From the Pit of Hell OPS - .996, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues RC/27 - 11.05, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues VORP (Batting) - 14.8, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues ISO - .174, Lip Pike, New York Mutuals VORP (Pitching) - 44.3, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays H/9IP - 6.45, Dick McBride, Philadelphia Athletics HR/9IP - 0.00, 5 players tied BB/9IP - 0.17, George Zettlein, Hartford Dark Blues K/9IP - 2.37, Dory Dean, Cincinnati Reds K/BB Ratio - 8.00, Dory Dean, Cincinnati Reds Opp. Avg. - .190, Dick McBride, Philadelphia Athletics WHIP - 0.75, Dick McBride, Philadelphia Athletics

July 2, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Hartford Dark Blues 20-7 New York Mutuals 18-10 Philadelphia Athletics 18-11 Chicago White Stockings 18-12 Boston Red Caps 11-19 Louisville Grays 11-19 Cincinnati Reds 10-19 St. Louis Brown Stockings 10-19 Now it is Hartford that looks like the National League's powerhouse, with their murderers' row of Harbidge (.321), Anson (.379), Waterman (.398), Shaffer (.366), and Gedney (.432). They had another big week this week, which included a 25-5 victory over the lowly Cincinnati Reds. In that game, Cap Anson managed to hit an amazing two home runs in the same game. Also, Boston continues its slight rise at the bottom end of the standings, as it appears they are better than many of the western clubs after all. In other news, the Louisville Grays just lost their best hitter, first baseman Charlie Hautz (.350), to a relatively severe injury. Hautz has some sort of a back injury that is expected to keep him out for at least the next several weeks, possibly longer. A further report is expected from prominent Louisville doctor David Yandell within the week.

July 9, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report
Hartford Dark Blues 21-9 Philadelphia Athletics 20-12 Chicago White Stockings 20-13 New York Mutuals 19-11 Boston Red Caps 13-20 Louisville Grays 12-20 Cincinnati Reds 11-21 St. Louis Brown Stockings 11-21 Hartford and Chicago just finished a tough three-game series in the Windy City, in which the White Stockings took two of three. However, there were some very exciting games, including a Fourth of July game in which Chicago scored a run in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game at 3, then won it 4-3 in the bottom of the thirteenth. In another game of the series, Hartford scored a run in the top of the ninth to break a scoreless tie and get their only win of the series, 1-0. Overall, as we approach the halfway mark of the season, it is increasingly apparent that this four-team race may continue for some time.

July 16, 1876 - Sunday Base Ball Report Hartford Dark Blues 24-9 New York Mutuals 23-11 Philadelphia Athletics 22-13 Chicago White Stockings 22-14 Boston Red Caps 14-22 Louisville Grays 13-23 Cincinnati Reds 11-24 St. Louis Brown Stockings 11-24 Some of the league's top teams have games against one another coming up. This should be an opportunity to sort out who the true top teams are. By Pythagorean record, Philadelphia is actually a couple games ahead of New York and Hartford - we'll see if they can actually make it happen on the field. This past week was relatively uneventful. All of the top four teams played against bottom feeders, and they all won at least 2/3 of their games. There is a significant and obvious gap between the league's haves and have-nots. The current league leaders: Batting Average - .423, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues On-Base Percentage - .414, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Slugging Percentage - .570, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues OPS - .984, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Hits - 69, Cal McVey, Boston Red Caps Doubles - 16, John Bass, Philadelphia Athletics Triples - 5, Lip Pike, New York Mutuals Home Runs - 3, Cap Anson, Hartford Dark Blues Extra Base Hits - 18, John Bass, Philadelphia Athletics Total Bases - 82, Cap Anson, Hartford Dark Blues Runs Batted In - 36, Paul Hines, Chicago and Orator Shaffer, Hartford Runs Scored - 47, Cap Anson, Hartford Dark Blues Stolen Bases - 6, 3 players tied Walks - 9, Cap Anson, Hartford and Levi Meyerle, Chicago Strikeouts - 15, "Big Jim" Clinton, Cincinnati and Paddy Quinn, St. Louis RC/27 - 10.61, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues ISO - .154, Lip Pike, New York Mutuals VORP (Batting) - 19.3, Count Gedney, Hartford Dark Blues Earned Run Average - 2.03, Lon Knight, Philadelphia Athletics Wins - 23, George Zettlein, Hartford Dark Blues Losses - 22, Tommy Bond, Louisville Grays Saves - 1, 9 players tied Innings Pitched - 292 2/3, Tommy Bond, Louisville and J.

Hartford lost two heartbreakers this week, falling 9-8 to Philadelphia in 10 innings, then losing 7-6 to New York in 12 innings the very next day.
