With a 2-0 series lead, I'm confident for the first ballgame in the World Series at home in our own ballpark at the South End Grounds. I decided to give Tom York a break after he failed to produce a single hit in the last game. John Cotton would take his place in the left field today and get some playoff experience.

After six innings, we were up 7-3, but then the Canaries came back in inning 7 to make it 7-5 and the game could have gone either way. Cotton was hitless in four at-bats...

In the second away game in Baltimore, Boston put up another exceptional performance. Both teams didn't make many errors (for this baseball era), so the game was based more on individual performances.



In the end, Boston crushed the Canaries with an astonishing 14-6 in their own ballpark. Player of the day was Robbie Stoltenberg who started for Santiago Coro, who had been hitless in Game 1. He went 3-for-4 and laid...

The world series starts with two ballgames at Newington Park in Baltimore. It's a historic moment for the Boston players as they enter the arena. This is their first appearance in the World Series!

Alright, it's time for the 1873 MLB world series.

Lets have a look at the playoff rosters:

Baltimore Canaries:



One of the stars in this team is SP Asa Brainard, who missed most of the regular season, but still managed to finish with a 8-4 record and an ERA of 2.44.

The other guy to keep an eye on is right Fielder Lip Pike. He's hit an incredible 5 Homeruns this season to top...

Hey there,

the regular season is over and there's a reason why I'm not going to post the regular season and the playoffs in one update. The second half of the season turned out very nice for Boston. We've been chasing Cincinnati for quite a while and were finally able to intercept them in game 41. It was an up and down from there, but we managed to keep a lead of two games in front of Cincinnati until the final 3-game series against them. The first of those three games was lost...
