1871 - 1st Season
Historical First Boston Red Stocking Team 1871
First Game ever played agaist Troy Haymakers at Boston on 19th April 1871.
Troy Haymakers 8
Boston Red Stockins 14

Prediction: After the initial draft we ended up with a pretty solid defensive team and with two stars of the era: Ross Barnes and Billy Stearns. The latter must be our starting pitcher for years to come and the former is one of the dominant players of the first two decades of professional baseball. The rest of the team has some medium and below average quality players. We will see how the 1871 season evolves, sign good and long contracts with the best rotation players, assure Stearns and Battin for years and try to get a good relieve pitcher and another top quality batter in the post season draft. We dont expect to make it to the playoffs, but a .500 W/L at the end of the season is almost mandatory.

End Season Report: Bad, bad season. We lack in the SS and 3B spots and made a ton of errors along the season. We won the MVP award three golden gloves though, and one platinium stick, cy young and rookie of the year, all of them for Ross Barnes who was superb during the season with .440 batting percentage. The other golden gloves were: pitching, (Stearns) and center fielder (Hall) . Stearns and Battin were great, Battin even winning the rookie award and both selected to the All Star (I played with this rule activated from 1871). All in all we finnish last in our conference with a record of 14-18 in a very bad end of the season (we were 12-11 in late july). Rockford was the winner in a 4-3 final series agains Cleveland. Now is time for the 1872 draft and try to get a good SS or 3B and may be a relieving pitcher, Let´s see how the draft turns out but if we get a couple of good players we can build up a dominating team for the 1873-74 seasons.

Record: 14W-18L
Rank: 4/4
Bat Avg: .277

MVP Ross Barnes.
Rookie of the Year: Ross Barnes.
