"I'm real fortunate that I had the opportunity to play with such good players during my career," said Welch. "I just couldn't have drawn it up any better. I'm glad I did it in this uniform, too. Boston is a great organization to play for." In his career Welch has amassed 200 wins and 150 losses with an ERA of 2.86 and 1092 strikeouts. Swartzel Signs for 8 years Thursday, July 4th, 1895: Happy times in Philadelphia as the Athletics and star starting pitcher Park Swartzel put the finishing touches on a $16,000 contract extension that will keep the 29-year-old in town 8 years longer. The signing is great news for Philadelphia because players of this caliber are hard to come by. For the year Swartzel has a 17-10 record with a 3.21 ERA in 28 starts. Big Switch: Van Haltren for Joyce Saturday, July 20th, 1895: A major trade has been executed between the Chicago Colts and Louisville Colonels, one that has stunned the baseball world. The Colts traded 29-year-old center fielder George Van Haltren to the Colonels for 29-year-old third baseman Bill Joyce. When BNN contacted the Colts GM, he said, "Putting this deal together was a lot of hard work, but the payoff will be tremendous and Colts fans ought to be excited about it". The Colonels GM added, "We put a lot of thought into this... this trade will win us more ballgames". BNN analysts are up in arms debating who got the better end of the deal. So far this year Van Haltren is batting .333 with 2 home runs, 70 RBIs and 62 runs scored. This year Joyce has batted at a .253 pace with 74 hits, 5 home runs, 64 RBIs and scored 62 times.

Awards NL Best Fielders for 1895 Selected Sunday, September 15th, 1895: Making the play is the mark of great defenders. Spearing a liner, diving in the hole or crashing headlong into the wall makes no difference to these awe-inspiring fielders. Magicians they sometimes appear to be, showing up out of nowhere to rob a batter of a hit and to turn a hit into an out. Pitchers love 'em and batters curse 'em. These defensive wizards will collect their 1895 National League Glove Wizard Awards tonight: Pitcher: Nat Hudson (Pittsburgh Pirates) Catcher: Joe Sugden (Pittsburgh Pirates) First Baseman: Tom McCreery (Cincinnati Reds) Second Baseman: Bobby Lowe (St. Louis Browns) Third Baseman: John McGraw (St. Louis Browns) Shortstop: Phil Tomney (Boston Beaneaters) Left Fielder: Ed Delahanty (New York Giants) Center Fielder: Elmer Smith (Philadelphia Phillies) Right Fielder: Dusty Miller (St. Louis Browns) AL Glove Wizard Award Winners Announced Sunday, September 15th, 1895: Good defense can be the difference between taking the championship and coming in second.

He put together a year that earned him the 1895 Newcomer of the Year Award. The 20-year-old first baseman crunched some good numbers with a .338 batting average and a .386 on-base percentage to go with his 9 home runs, 111 RBIs and 98 runs scored.

American League Names Top Hitter Thursday, September 19th, 1895: 1895 was a very good year for Baltimore Orioles left fielder Joe Kelley, this season's American League Outstanding Hitter Award recipient. Kelley hit .356 with a .452 on-base percentage. He had 174 hits, 42 doubles, 14 triples, 6 home runs, 116 RBIs and scored 127 runs. 1895 Draft NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed Wednesday, October 2nd, 1895: The biggest anxiety for 1895 new young players is getting drafted. For the young man with something to prove, simple entrance into the draft does not guarantee a big league contract. Some will suffer the excruciating torment of having to stand by as their competitors get picked before them, hoping that they get a slim chance to prove their skills anywhere.

Baseball officials have spent endless hours, days and weeks debating and agonizing over which first-year players should be drafted. Some guys do it scientifically, while the grizzled old pros go by gut feel. Whatever the team's philosophy, the North American BaseBall League amateur draft is today and these ballclubs have the first five selections: Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Detroit. It is the consensus among the baseball journalists and experts that these guys will go in the first ten picks: 1. Bill Keister, 24 year-old second baseman out of college. 2. Sammy Strang, 18 year-old shortstop out of high-school. 3. Algie McBride, 26 year-old left fielder out of college. 4. Jerry Nops, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 5. Sam Mertes, 23 year-old center fielder out of college. 6. Fielder Jones, 24 year-old right fielder out of college. 7. Cy Seymour, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 8. Chick Fraser, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 9. Herm McFarland, 25 year-old center fielder out of college. 10. Buttons Briggs, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college.

Bill Wise, SLN, 54 Charlie Ferguson, LS3, 23 Henry Porter, PHA, 21 Pete Meegan, -, 20 Lee Richmond, PHA, 19 BNN Stats: Batting Leaders Monday, May 4th, 1896: So, who is the leader in the North American BaseBall League in on-base percentage? Dan Brouthers, PHA, .508 George Tebeau, BSN, .500 Fred Tenney, CHN, .490 Mike Griffin, PHA, .483 Tom McCreery, CIN, .467 News Philadelphia, Chicago Trade Players Thursday, April 23rd, 1896: Officials for Philadelphia confirmed that they have traded 32-year-old catcher Ed Harting, 26-year-old left fielder Jack Sharrott, a 1st round draft pick and $1,250 in cash to the Chicago White Sox. In return, the Athletics will receive 25-year-old shortstop Charlie Nyce. This season Nyce has hit at a .460 clip with 42 RBIs, 8 home runs and 13 runs scored. He has played in 16 games. Dan Casey Tames Chicago 11-2 for #250 Monday, April 27th, 1896: His goal at twenty was to win twenty games one year, pitch until he was thirty, win the league pennant and to make some money. Well, Dan Casey did something even better -- the 33-year-old Baltimore Orioles star has now won 250 games in his career. That put him in a very select group of pitchers. He joined that exclusive club today at South Side Park II by whipping the Chicago White Sox 11-2, holding them to 7 hits in 9 innings while chalking up 6 strikeouts and 3 walks. In the postgame interview, the modest Casey said, "It's special to win 250 games. You don't do it by yourself. You do it with good stuff and a good bullpen. You are only as good as the guys behind you. Years from now I might look back on it and give myself a little pat on the back." In his career Casey has notched 250 wins and 203 losses and compiled a 3.13 ERA. Athletics, Veteran Richmond Agree to Terms Thursday, May 7th, 1896: Athletics fans were divided today as Philadelphia confirmed that the front office has signed Lee Richmond to a 4-year extension at a rate of $1,700 per year. While many were enthusiastically behind the signing, others worried about Richmond's age. In season stats Richmond shows a 6-2 record in 9 games, 76 innings, 20 strikeouts and a 2.25 ERA.

News Ewing Collects Hit Number 2000 Thursday, June 18th, 1896: Colonels catcher Buck Ewing never thought his name would be associated with some of the great players in league history. Now that he has reached the 2000-hit threshold, that's all but guaranteed. Ewing collected his big hit in a 9-3 loss to Detroit. Afterward, he thought about the achievement: "Overwhelmed," he said.

He is batting .286 with 357 stolen bases and has scored 1208 runs. Wise Beats Pirates for 400th Win Wednesday, June 24th, 1896: His goal at twenty was to win twenty games one year, pitch until he was thirty, win the league pennant and to make some money. Well, Bill Wise did something even better -- the 35-year-old St. Louis Browns star has now won 400 games in his career. That put him in a very select group of pitchers. He joined that exclusive club today at Exposition Park by whipping the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-9, holding them to 9 hits in 8 innings while chalking up no strikeouts and 5 walks. In the postgame interview, the modest Wise said, "It's special to win 400 games. You don't do it by yourself. You do it with good stuff and a good bullpen. You are only as good as the guys behind you. Years from now I might look back on it and give myself a little pat on the back." Wise has collected 400 wins and 235 losses over his career with a 2.23 ERA. The 35-year-old hurler also has struck out 3384 batters in 5687 innings and allowed 5387 hits.

"It felt like it was a postseason game, one out at a time," said his manager. "It was something special to see." The 31-year-old Ramsey picked up his 200th career victory at Eastern Park. He hurled 9 innings, gave up 10 hits and registered 3 strikeouts along with 1 walk. "I've worked a long time for this," Ramsey said. "I can't believe it's really here. It feels great!"

Baltimore Left Fielder Mansell Will Retire Sunday, August 9th, 1896: Baltimore Orioles officials flanked Mike Mansell as he announced his retirement from pro baseball today. Rumors have had him on the verge of retirement since late last week but were not confirmed until today. "I want to leave the game the way I came into it," said Mansell. "I don't want to become an embarrassment to myself and the team." As far as career numbers Mansell has compiled a .271 batting average and collected 957 hits, 33 home runs and 462 RBIs. Clubhouse Shenanigans May Cost Cleveland Players Sunday, August 23rd, 1896: Cleveland teammates Jim McCormick and Charlie Hodnett are in hot water with manager Bill Murphy for a series of pranks aimed at other teammates and at one another. "These guys are adults," said the Spiders skipper. "And they're supposed to be professionals. Why they're acting like a couple of clowns is beyond me." According to Murphy, both players will be fined if the behavior continues. McCormick, however, doesn't understand why his manager is getting all worked up. "We're just having a little fun, blowing off some steam. He doesn't need to call us out in public. And fining us would be taking it way too far." Hodnett was slightly more diplomatic. "It's embarrasing to be singled out like that. I guess I need to take things a little more seriously from now." Philadelphia Star Captures AL Bat Crown Saturday, August 29th, 1896: Jesse Burkett of the Philadelphia Athletics was this year's best hitter in the American League. The 27-year-old left fielder collected the batting title with a .396 average. Playing in 124 games, the AL champ racked up 202 hits in 510 at-bats with 6 home runs and 82 RBIs. Lajoie Makes History, Wins Triple Crown Saturday, August 29th, 1896: Nap Lajoie of the Boston Beaneaters won the Triple Crown this year and went from a star to superstar. The 21-year-old second baseman won the batting title with a .374 BA, topped the NL in homers with 14 home runs and took home the RBI crown, too, with 129. For that outstanding performance he is the 2nd winner of this very prestigious award. "A Triple Crown... that's amazing," said Lajoie, "You can't try and win a Triple Crown. A lot has to go right for it to happen. You have to be the best in three categories. And not just for five, ten games, but for a whole season. It's special. It's really special."

1896 Playoffs
NABL News: Playoffs begin Saturday, August 29th, 1896: A playoff baseball game has a surreal atmosphere. Fans become one, roaring in unison at a great play and sharing the grief at blown opportunity. Victory and defeat play out in a rainbow of colors, sounds, smells and feelings. North American BaseBall League playoff baseball is a memorable experience. What is it like? Ask the 10-year-old sitting with his dad as he plucks a foul ball out of the air. Ask the veteran slugger who hits that walk-off home run. Ask the manager in the big game after coming from 10 games back to win the pennant. Ask the countless number of legends who have flourished or those greats who never won the big one. Or tomorrow, ask any of the rookies what it's like to play in one of the North American Series showdowns: St. Louis Browns versus Philadelphia Athletics. Game 1 Sunday 8/30 Philadelphia 6 St Louis 5: Jesse Burkett 3-5, RBI. Dan Brouthers 2-3, 2 RBIs. Denny Lyons scores the winning run on a Jesse Burkett 9th inning single. Game 2 Monday 8/31 St Louis 2 Philadelphia 0: Phenomenal Smith pitches a four hit shut out. Philadelphia at St Louis Game 3 Wednesday 9/2 Philadelphia 8 St Louis 3: Dan Brouthers 3-5, RBI.

St Louis at Philadelphia Game 6 Sunday 9/6 St Louis 7 Philadelphia 1: Bill Wise allows only three hits. Jack Doyle 3-5, 3 RBIs. Browns Triumph in 1896 North American Series Sunday, September 6th, 1896: The 1896 North American BaseBall League season came to a close today at Columbia Park, where the St. Louis Browns whipped the Philadelphia Athletics 7-1 and won their 1st North American Series in history. MVP was Jack Doyle, .459, 8 RBIs. St. Louis got there by compiling a 79-53 mark during regular season play and claiming the first spot in the National League standings. The Browns won the series 4-2 in games. 1896 Off Season Irwin Headed for Retirement Saturday, September 5th, 1896: "I've made up my mind to leave baseball," Arthur Irwin said. "It's time to move into the second phase of my life." The Louisville shortstop announced his retirement today at a press conference, saying it would be his last season. For his 1470-game career Irwin has hit .259 with 1333 hits, 632 RBIs, and 12 home runs. Athletics Retirements Henry Porter exectuted option year of his contract and retired.  Lifetime Porter appeared in 510 with a record of 270-196. He struck out 1860. Jackie Hayes (RF) appeared in 406 games. Lifetime batting average was .244. Jackie hit 15 HRs and had 201 RBIs. New York Sold to Marcus Chandler Tuesday, September 8th, 1896: "All my life I've dreamed of having my own baseball team, and now that dream has come true." Those were the words of the brand-new owner of the New York Giants, Marcus Chandler, who today was introduced at a media gathering at Polo Grounds III. Chandler is a wealthy real estate mogul who recently purchased the team from Tsuramatsu Sanu. He promised New York Giants fans that he would put forth a first-class product on the field. Candidly assessing his own personal temperament and management style, Chandler told reporters, "I'm generous with my money and I'm quite lenient in working with people. I expect success -- that's the bottom line with me." New York finished 4th this past season in the National League with a team record of 65-67. Hendrix Purchases Louisville Colonels, Transition Begins Tuesday, September 8th, 1896: The deal is done and the fans are overjoyed. The Louisville Colonels will have a new owner soon and the fans are glad he is one of them. He's Lou Hendrix, a popular local civic leader and businessman. Hendrix has bought the club from António May and will take over as soon as he gets approval by the owners. Last season the Louisville Colonels came in third in the American League with a 71-61 record. As far as attitude and character, sources close to Hendrix told reporters off-the-record that he was quite generous in financial areas and demanding in character and temperament. Awards 1896 Glove Wizard Award Trophies Given out by NL Friday, September 18th, 1896: Who are the Glove Wizard Award winners? They are the guys that steal outs.

Burkett hit for a .396 average while collecting 202 hits, 24 doubles, 14 triples, 6 home runs, 82 RBIs and scoring 134 times. 1896 Draft NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed Friday, October 2nd, 1896: The list of players who have declared for the first-year player draft was announced earlier today. BNN will have special coverage dedicated to this draft. Just look in the transaction section for the special page dedicated to the young players hoping to make a name for themselves in the show. The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be: 1. Tom O'Brien, 23 year-old first baseman out of college. 2. Chief Sockalexis, 24 year-old right fielder out of college. 3. Chick Stahl, 23 year-old right fielder out of college. 4. Jack Powell, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 5. Doc Nance, 20 year-old right fielder out of college. 6. Ossee Schreckengost, 21 year-old catcher out of college. 7. Tom Leahy, 27 year-old center fielder out of college. 8. Buttons Briggs, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 9. Jack Rothfuss, 24 year-old first baseman out of college. 10. Rube Waddell, 19 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school. NABL News: First-Year Player Draft Sunday, November 1st, 1896: It's draft day! And Chicago, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Detroit and Philadelphia will have the first five selections. As GMs prepare their final notes on the 1896 rookie class, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over North American BaseBall League. So many teams have their futures vested in today's proceedings. Some will go all out for the hot pick, while others will be content to take a mid-carder or dark horse. Only Father Time knows if things will work out. One way or the other, it's an unsettling thought for GM's whose jobs could hang in the balance. The top ten picks, as rated by BNN, are: 1. Chick Stahl, 23 year-old right fielder out of college. 2. Tom Leahy, 27 year-old center fielder out of college. 3. Tully Sparks, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 4. Rube Waddell, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school. 5.

Jesse Hoffmeister, 24 year-old third baseman out of college. 9. Ossee Schreckengost, 21 year-old catcher out of college. 10. Chief Sockalexis, 25 year-old right fielder out of college. Athletics draft the following 3B Charlie Kuhns (Real Life: 2 seasons) LF Tom Hernon (RL: 4 games) Athletics announce the signing of starting pitcher free agent Kid Nichols. Nichols is 102-93 lifetime. More news No Comeback Likely For Charlie Irwin, Career Probably Over Wednesday, November 4th, 1896: A career-ending a fractured ankle has forced Charlie Irwin into retirement. The 27-year-old Cincinnati Reds third baseman made the grim announcement today at a press conference. Lifetime Irwin is batting .288 and has totaled 11 home runs.

Tidbits BNN Stats: Active Career Batting Leaders Monday, April 19th, 1897: So, who is the active leader in the North American BaseBall League in career bases on balls? Piggy Ward, BOS, 1194 Dan Brouthers, PHA, 1082 Roger Connor, BOS, 839 Cupid Childs, BRO, 728 Emmett Seery, PHA, 704 BNN Stats: Starting Pitching Leaders Monday, May 10th, 1897: So, which starting pitchers are leading the North American BaseBall League in strikeouts? Toad Ramsey, CHN, 58 George Boone, CHA, 51 Park Swartzel, PHA, 49 Cy Young, PHA, 49 Bill Vinton, LS3, 47 News Dugan Wins Number 250 Thursday, April 22nd, 1897: His goal at twenty was to win twenty games one year, pitch until he was thirty, win the league pennant and to make some money. Well, Ed Dugan did something even better -- the 32-year-old Brooklyn Bridegrooms star has now won 250 games in his career. That put him in a very select group of pitchers. He joined that exclusive club today at Eastern Park by whipping the Chicago Colts 6-5, holding them to 9 hits in 8 innings while chalking up 4 strikeouts and 3 walks. In the postgame interview, the modest Dugan said, "It's special to win 250 games. You don't do it by yourself. You do it with good stuff and a good bullpen. You are only as good as the guys behind you. Years from now I might look back on it and give myself a little pat on the back." Dugan has authored a 250-290 won-lost record in his career with a 2.89 ERA. Mountain Beats Americans for 300th Win Sunday, May 2nd, 1897: Frank Mountain of the Chicago White Sox will go down as one of the league's legendary pitchers after his 8-4 win today against the Boston Americans. "It felt like it was a postseason game, one out at a time," said his manager. "It was something special to see." The 36-year-old Mountain picked up his 300th career victory at Huntington Avenue Grounds. He hurled 9 innings, gave up 9 hits and registered 5 strikeouts along with 4 walks. "I've worked a long time for this," Mountain said. "I can't believe it's really here. It feels great!" In his career the 36-year-old Mountain has put up a 3.02 ERA and a 300-244 mark. McKeon Defeats Phillies For #200 Monday, May 3rd, 1897: Larry McKeon entered the record books today as he collected win number 200 at Baker Bowl. "Wow! This is a pretty select group of pitchers. I am honored and thrilled to be in it," McKeon said after the game. "I never dreamed of winning this many games." In his historic outing he went 9 innings and gave up 6 runs on 6 hits. McKeon also had 5 strikeouts and 7 walks as his New York Giants topped the Philadelphia Phillies 8-6. Through the years McKeon has fashioned a 200-160 mark, 3.16 ERA and thrown 3143 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .260 lifetime against him and he has logged 1377 career strikeouts. Athletics Swartzel Earns 200th Win Thursday, May 6th, 1897: It was a special day at Columbia Park for Philadelphia's Park Swartzel. The Athletics ace logged his 200th career win against the Americans. In the 7-2 decision Swartzel tossed 9 innings, surrendered 6 hits with 1 walk and 1 strikeout. "I'm real fortunate that I had the opportunity to play with such good players during my career," said Swartzel. "I just couldn't have drawn it up any better. I'm glad I did it in this uniform, too. Philadelphia is a great organization to play for." In his career Swartzel has totaled 200 victories and 127 defeats with a 2.77 ERA. The 31-year-old hurler also has struck out 1264 batters in 2874 innings and surrendered 2997 hits.

Bill Vinton Records Win #250 Tuesday, June 1st, 1897: What would you do after you had just won your 250th game? Run around Eclipse Park II doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Bill Vinton -- that's not his way. After he notched number 250, the 32-year-old Louisville hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Vinton commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Vinton got his milestone victory by beating the Boston Americans 9-1. He held them to 2 hits in 9 innings and rung up 6 strikeouts with 8 walks. After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #250. His teammates showered him with champagne and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Vinton's face broke into a big smile. In his career Vinton has fanned 2688 batters and walked 1455 in 4527 innings of work. His lifetime won-lost record is 250 victories and 271 defeats with a 2.78 ERA and opposing hitters have compiled a .245 against him.

NABL News: Playoffs begin Saturday, August 28th, 1897: The quest for the North American BaseBall League North American Series championship gets underway today.

The baseball experts have made their predictions, but teams will do it or die on the diamond. The best team doesn't always win -- sometimes it's the lucky team that is fated to win the crown -- sometimes it's the team that gets hot late in the season that wins -- and sometimes talent wins out and takes the glory. The winner will be one of these teams: Philadelphia Athletics versus Brooklyn Bridegrooms.

I have taken the job offered by the Chicago Orphans.
1897 Off Season Chicago Colts change their name to Orphans. Orphans, Veteran Ramsey Agree to Terms Sunday, September 12th, 1897: Media analysts hailed Chicago's signing of Toad Ramsey, one of North American BaseBall League's brightest stars, as a pivotal move. While the deal is certain to raise a few eyebrows, Ramsey is expected to earn every bit of the $16,100 promised him over 7 years. His career totals show Ramsey has 212 victories and 239 defeats with a 3.20 ERA. Awards Best Defenders Announced by NL Friday, September 17th, 1897: It's been said that the best offense is a good defense. That's why contending teams are always looking to improve on the defensive side of the game. Keeping runs from scoring is just as good as driving them in. The top fielders have been chosen in the National League for 1897. Here are the Glove Wizard Award winners: Pitcher: Lev Shreve (Brooklyn Bridegrooms) Catcher: Heinie Peitz (Boston Beaneaters) First Baseman: Tom McCreery (Cincinnati Reds) Second Baseman: Cupid Childs (Brooklyn Bridegrooms) Third Baseman: John McGraw (St. Louis Browns) Shortstop: Hughie Jennings (Philadelphia Phillies) Left Fielder: Joe Knight (Pittsburgh Pirates) Center Fielder: Mike Tiernan (New York Giants) Right Fielder: Honus Wagner (Brooklyn Bridegrooms) AL Glove Wizard Award Winners Announced Friday, September 17th, 1897: On the defensive side of the game pitchers always get the glory, but the best pitchers know their success hinges on the gloves behind them. The defensive dream team in the American League for 1897 has been announced, and the Glove Wizard Award trophies will be presented to these outstanding fielders: Pitcher: Charlie Ferguson (Washington Senators) Catcher: Jack Clements (Detroit Tigers) First Baseman: Candy LaChance (Louisville Colonels) Second Baseman: Bill Eagan (Cleveland Spiders) Third Baseman: Jimmy Collins (Chicago White Sox) Shortstop: Bobby Wheelock (Chicago White Sox) Left Fielder: Herm McFarland (Louisville Colonels) Center Fielder: Bill Lange (Chicago White Sox) Right Fielder: Chief Sockalexis (Washington Senators) Brooklyn's Donahue Wins 1897 Newcomer Award Saturday, September 18th, 1897: It was a year he will not soon forget. Red Donahue made a lifetime of memories in winning the National League Newcomer of the Year Award. Brooklyn called him in for no relief appearances this season and he responded with no saves in 239.2 innings, totaling 49 strikeouts. He held the opposition to a .279 batting average and compiled a record of 21 wins and 5 losses with a 2.93 ERA. AL's Best Rookie Announced Saturday, September 18th, 1897: Washington fans have reason to cheer today as right fielder Chief Sockalexis brought home the American League Newcomer of the Year Award for 1897. He put together a .365 batting average on the strength of 196 hits and swatted 8 home runs. He also racked up 93 RBIs and scored 128 runs, signaling that this might be the beginning of a solid baseball career. New York Hurler Wins NL Outstanding Pitcher Award Monday, September 20th, 1897: John Tener joined an elite group of pitchers today by picking up the National League Outstanding Pitcher Award for 1897. The 34-year-old hurler finished the year 23-10 for the New York Giants, piling up 288.2 innings, registering 90 strikeouts and walking 73 on his way to a solid 2.46 ERA. AL's Best Hurler is Young Monday, September 20th, 1897: The spotlight today is on Cy Young of the Philadelphia Athletics. The bullpen ace was named the top pitcher in the American League and he will be honored with the 1897 Outstanding Pitcher Award. Philadelphia's star reliever held the opposition to a .275 average and put up no saves and 216 strikeouts in 388.1 innings with a 24-21 mark and a 2.41 ERA. 1897 Premier Batter Selected By NL Tuesday, September 21st, 1897: The National League Outstanding Hitter Award for 1897 has been presented to the talented and hot-hitting Nap Lajoie of the Boston Beaneaters. In his fine season, he compiled a .341 batting average with 194 hits, 54 doubles, 9 triples and 11 home runs, along with 117 RBIs and 109 runs scored. Top Batter Named by American League Tuesday, September 21st, 1897: Chief Sockalexis of the Washington Senators enjoyed a gourmet season at the dish in 1897. With the numbers he put up, there was little doubt that he'd be taking home the American League Outstanding Hitter Award. He put up 196 hits in 537 at-bats for a .365 average while amassing 34 doubles, 9 triples, 8 home runs, 49 walks, a .416 on-base percentage, 93 RBIs and 128 runs scored. Draft NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed Saturday, October 2nd, 1897: For would-be rookies, a list of whom was announced today by the league, the wait to find out whether or not they have been selected is excruciating. It's tough just getting a scout to notice you, to think you are worth investing an organization's future in. Then draft day arrives and you are snatched up by someone you might not have expected. Some will catch on big; others will be away from home for the first time and will struggle to gain a solid footing in the minors. Still others will battle through, gain that coveted footing and go on to have a solid professional career. The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be: 1. Bill Donovan, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 2. Sam Leever, 25 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 3. Nick Altrock, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 4.

Jay Hughes, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college. NABL News: First-Year Player Draft Monday, November 1st, 1897: The 1897 North American BaseBall League amateur draft will be conducted today. The cream of the crop in amateur baseball circles will be plucked by the baseball hierarchy. Diamond journalists and experts say these ten names are at the top of the first-year player shopping list: 1. Bill Duggleby, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 2. Bill Dinneen, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 3. Emmet Heidrick, 21 year-old center fielder out of college. 4. Vic Willis, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 5. Harry Howell, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 6. Sam Leever, 25 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 7. Frank Chance, 21 year-old catcher out of college. 8. Frank Kitson, 28 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 9. Tommy Leach, 19 year-old third baseman out of high-school. 10. Elmer Flick, 21 year-old right fielder out of college.
