Philadelphia Star, Outstanding Pitcher Award Winner
Saturday, November 1st, 1902: He's in the early phase of his career, but this past season Doc White performed like a veteran on the hill for the Philadelphia Phillies and walked away with the National League Outstanding Pitcher Award in the process.

The 23-year-old Phillies star fashioned a 32-15 won-loss record in 1902 with a 2.38 ERA. In 393.2 innings of work and 47 starts, White struck out 180 while giving up 386 hits and 89 walks. He held opposing batters to a .253 average.

Sunday, November 2nd, 1902: Buck Freeman has been around North American BaseBall League enough to know a good hot streak when he sees one -- and he got to see one firsthand all year. For his standout run through the 1902 season, he's taking home the Outstanding Hitter Award in the American League.

The Detroit left fielder put up a batting average of .328 with 28 doubles, 19 triples, 20 home runs and 134 RBIs.

Tuesday, February 10th, 1903: It won't turn either team into an instant contender or provide a huge franchise shakeup, but the Detroit Tigers and Washington Senators finalized a trade today.

1903 Playoffs

NABL News: Playoffs begin
Wednesday, September 30th, 1903: "Baseball is a marathon," or so the saying goes. But once the North American BaseBall League playoffs start today, it's a sprint to the finish. One false move, one errant miscue, one pressure-packed flub will end your team's chances of winning the title. It could be over in a moment. On the other hand, one swing of the bat or a fastball blown by the last hitter could just as easily send your team parading down Main Street, hoisting a 24-carat gold-studded North American Series trophy before an adoring crowd. The contending ballclubs are all poised and ready -- the playoffs begin today with several North American Series showdowns:
Detroit Tigers versus Philadelphia Phillies. Best of Nine.

Off Season
NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Friday, October 2nd, 1903: North American BaseBall League announced the 1903 amateur draft pool today, a scant 30 days in advance of the actual draft. For scouts, it is the toughest challenge of the season, trying to come up with an educated guess as to what a young man in his late teens or early twenties is going to do at the professional level a good five years down the road, at best. Some will go on gut instincts; some will rely on years of experience; but most will find it disconcerting how much their team is beholden to Lady Luck. Choose well and they are geniuses; choose poorly and they are unemployed.

The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Ed Walsh, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
2. Mike Lynch, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
3. Frank Schulte, 21 year-old left fielder out of college.
4. Hooks Wiltse, 24 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
5. Frank Smith, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
6. Moose McCormick, 22 year-old center fielder out of college.
7. Frank Corridon, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
8. Bugs Raymond, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
9. Howie Camnitz, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
10. Miller Huggins, 25 year-old second baseman out of college.

Neil Chapman Acquires Brooklyn
Friday, October 9th, 1903: Everything points to a new day in Brooklyn after it was announced that the Brooklyn Superbas had been acquired by financier and investment magnate Neil Chapman. The commissioner said the sale had been approved by the league owners, and the new owner was introduced at a press conference today at Washington Park III. The Brooklyn Superbas are fresh off a 4th-place finish this season. They compiled a 72-68 mark in the National League. Chapman boasted to the press corps, "All my life, everything I've touched has turned to gold. I expect the Brooklyn Superbas to be the best baseball organization in the league and will work tirelessly toward that end."

Deal is Done, Pollock Buys Chicago White Sox
Friday, October 9th, 1903: Today Lawrence Sullivan Jr., owner of the Chicago White Sox, announced the sale of his team to Dennis Pollock. Pollock is said to be a unmerciful character, with a fiscal personality of generous. The White Sox finished the regular season with a 72-68 record, 4th place in the American League.

The 21-year-old starter registered a 17-12 record this season in 35 starts. Over 269.1 innings he gave up 280 hits, struck out 142 and issued 95 walks as he held the opposition to a .256 batting average and fashioned a 2.47 ERA.

Best Hurler Award Presented by NL

Altrock excelled with an impressive 25-10 record in 37 starts. In 308.2 innings he yielded 349 hits and 61 walks, while striking out 67 and compiling a fine 2.83 ERA.

AL Awards Outstanding Pitcher Trophy
Thursday, October 22nd, 1903: He's in the early phase of his career, but this past season Christy Mathewson performed like a veteran on the hill for the Washington Senators and walked away with the American League Outstanding Pitcher Award in the process.

The 23-year-old Senators star fashioned a 29-12 won-loss record in 1903 with a 2.76 ERA. In 359.1 innings of work and 45 starts, Mathewson struck out 236 while giving up 369 hits and 73 walks. He held opposing batters to a .253 average.

Donlin Tops NL Best Hitter List
Friday, October 23rd, 1903: The top batter in the National League in 1903 was Philadelphia left fielder Mike Donlin. Today he was named the winner of the Outstanding Hitter Award.

Buck Freeman Named Premier AL Batsman
Friday, October 23rd, 1903: Detroit's Buck Freeman put the wraps on a fine campaign today by winning the 1903 American League Outstanding Hitter Award.

Major News
Freeman Hits for Cycle Against Boston
Monday, June 6th, 1904: "Some days everything falls in place and you have an almost perfect day."
Those were the comments from Detroit right fielder Buck Freeman today as his 5-6 day included the cycle, a baseball rarity.

"He sure was a wrecking ball today," said one teammate after the Tigers tamed the Americans 6-5 at Bennett Park.

Buck Freeman hit a two-run home run off Red Donahue in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 6th, singled in the 8th, doubled in the 10th and tripled in the 12th.

In 46 games this season Freeman has batted at a .332 pace with 65 hits and 6 home runs.

Red-Hot Bat: Foutz Collects Cycle
Wednesday, August 31st, 1904: The Chicago Cubs were too much for Brooklyn today. They tripped up the Superbas 8-7, in spite of the batting heroics of Frank Foutz, who had a whale of a game, hitting for the cycle, collecting 4 hits in 4 at-bats with 3 RBI.

Frank Foutz doubled in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Bill Dinneen in the 4th, tripled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

To date Foutz has chalked up a .294 average with 13 home runs, driven in 95 runs and scored 60 times.
