Baltimore Tied for First
July 1, 1872 Reyes, Gibbs, and Luna    The Baltimore Canaries have the top 3 hitters in the ABC. C Carlos Reyes is hitting .452 to lead the league. Last Year's Batter of the Year, LF Bill Gibbs is second, hitting .421. Finally, 1B Rodrigo Luna is hitting .407. It is this outstanding offense that has lifted Baltimore into a tie for first with the Philadelphia Keystones. Standings through June 30, 1872 Code:
Team W L PCT GB Baltimore Canaries 9 5 .643 - Philadelphia Keystones 9 5 .643 - Boston Red Stockings 8 6 .571 1.0 Cincinnati Reds 8 6 .571 1.0 New York Mutuals 7 7 .500 2.0 Buffalo Bisons 5 9 .357 4.0 Chicago White Stockings 5 9 .357 4.0 Washington Nationals 5 9 .357 4.0 Pitcher of the Month SP Arlen Robinson - Baltimore Canaries  For the second month in a row, Robinson has won the Pitcher of the Month award. He went 4-1 in June with a 2.40 ERA in 5 starts. Batter of the Month 3B Roberto Carrillo - Cincinnati Reds  Carrillo earned Batter of the Month honors by hitting .500 with 7 RBIs and 5 runs scored. Rookie of the Month 3B Pete Fleming - Chicago White Stockings  Pete Fleming went 3 for 5 on 6/10 and for some reason that prompted the Buffalo Bisons to trade the young 3B to the White Stockings. That didn't prevent him from going 9 for 20, with 5 RBIs earning him the Rookie of the Month award. Franco Hitting Streak Watch Chicago White Stockings RF Ricardo Franco  Chicago RF Ricardo Franco has kept his hitting streak alive through June, extending it to 29 games!

Baltimore Loses Star CF in Free Agency
December 28, 1872 Buffalo Bisons CF Bob Schultz  One of the key pieces of Baltimore's championship team has signed a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bisons.

Baseball America Top 10 Prospects
April 4, 1873 Baseball America announced their Top 100 Prospect List. Here is the Top 10. 1. SP Carlos Banuelos - Chicago White Stockings Banuelos was the #2 pick in the 1872 First Year Player's Draft  2. SP Randy Miller - Brooklyn Atlantics Miller moved up a spot from #3 on last year's list.  3. SP Mark Pittman - Philadelphia Keystones Mark Pittman was the top overall pick in ther 1872 First Year Player's Draft.  4. SP Mark Sawyer - Baltimore Canaries Sawyer was the #3 pick in the ABC's Inaugural Draft. He looks to be the Canaries' #2 SP this season.  5. SP Chris Woods - Cincinnati Reds Woods was by the Reds with the #3 overall pick in last year's First Year Player's Draft.  6. SP James Martin - Brooklyn Atlantics The Buffalo Bisons selected Martin #4 last year in the draft.  7. SP Ryan Johnson - New York Mutuals Johnson is developing into a fine starting pitcher after being selected in the 17th round of the 1871 Inaugural Draft.  8. SP Jesus Herrera - Baltimore Canaries Some are saying the Herrera is the next Arlen Robinson. We'll see if the #6 pick from last year's draft can break into the majors this season.  9. SP Antonio Martinez - Boston Red Stockings Martinez is ready for the majors. The only thing standing in his way? Red Bishop!  10. 2B Jody Lilly - Boston Red Stockings Lilly will get his chance this season as the Red Stockings' Opening Day starting 2B.  |
