A strange old month indeed. We win nine of our first ten and finish the month at 10-2. It’s a nice way to start but you can already see how unsustainable it is as we are pretty ordinary in our last three or four games. Still, we’ll take it gleefully and gratefully.
Hot- Honus Wagner: carries over a hit streak from ’01 and makes it to 24 games before taking an ohfer. He also gets on base in 42 straight games.
- Socks Seybold: 347 BA / 16 RBI / 176 OPS+ / 168 wRC+
- Our pitching staff: Starter ERA 1.68; bullpen yet to give up an earned run.
Not- The rest of our hitters: Seybold the only starter hitting above 300; 255 team BA is 7th in the NL.
Around the Leagues- The Phillies are hot as well, going 9-3. The Cards lose their first eleven before beating us on the final day of the month.
- Red Donahue of the Phillies pitches the league’s first ever no-hitter in a 2-0 win over Brooklyn.
- Chicago and Baltimore have flown out of the gates in the AL, losing just a game apiece.
Awards- 04/28 POTW: AL – Roy Patterson (Chicago) 2-0 / 0.50 / 9 K / 18 IP; NL – Socks Seybold (Pittsburgh) .500 / 1 HR / 10 RBI.
