Awards

Season's Best Fielders Selected by NL
Monday, October 25th, 1875: "Hit 'em where they ain't" is a great hitting philosophy, but it doesn't always work when a fielder can seemingly appear out of nowhere to make the play. These magicians are often taken for granted as the season grinds along, but today they take center stage. The National League Glove Wizard Award selections for 1875 are:

Pitcher: Mike Golden (Cincinnati Reds)
Catcher: Deacon White (Boston Red Caps)
First Baseman: Cap Anson (Cincinnati Reds)
Second Baseman: Horatio Munn (Chicago White Stockings)
Third Baseman: Ezra Sutton (Brooklyn Atlantics)
Shortstop: George Wright (Boston Red Caps)
Left Fielder: Tom York (Chicago White Stockings)
Center Fielder: George Hall (Cincinnati Reds)
Right Fielder: William Rexter (Boston Red Caps)

AL Glove Wizard Award Winners Announced
Monday, October 25th, 1875: Who are the Glove Wizard Award winners? They are the guys that steal outs. They make spectacular plays, but they also consistently make the routine plays. This year in the American League these defensive stalwarts made a name for themselves with their gloves:

Pitcher: Harry Arundel (Baltimore Orioles)
Catcher: Doug Allison (St. Louis Brown Stockings)
First Baseman: Jim Devlin (Philadelphia Athletics)
Second Baseman: Ross Barnes (Philadelphia Athletics)
Third Baseman: Herm Doscher (Baltimore Orioles)
Shortstop: Chick Fulmer (Baltimore Orioles)
Left Fielder: Ned Cuthbert (St. Louis Brown Stockings)
Center Fielder: Oscar Walker (Philadelphia Athletics)
Right Fielder: Jack Manning (Baltimore Orioles)

NL Newcomer of the Year Award Announced
Tuesday, October 26th, 1875: Sam Weaver was pure poison to National League hitters this year. The Chicago White Stockings felt very secure when they sent him out to the hill. The 20-year-old starter went after National League hitters with a vengeance and earned the 1875 Newcomer of the Year Award.

AL #1 Newcomer Named
Tuesday, October 26th, 1875: Harry Arundel's age didn't show very often in his first year. He performed more like a veteran on the hill for the Baltimore Orioles and today he walked away with the 1875 American League Newcomer of the Year Award.

#1 NL Hurler Named

Thursday, October 28th, 1875: He's in the early phase of his career, but this past season Sam Weaver performed like a veteran on the hill for the Chicago White Stockings and walked away with the National League Outstanding Pitcher Award in the process.

The 20-year-old White Stockings star fashioned a 36-19 won-loss record in 1875 with a 1.47 ERA. In 478 innings of work and 57 starts, Weaver struck out 116 while giving up 486 hits and 25 walks. He held opposing batters to a .241 average.

AL Gives Outstanding Pitcher Award
Thursday, October 28th, 1875: This season's American League Outstanding Pitcher Award trophy went to Rynie Wolters, the ace of the Philadelphia pitching staff.

He dominated all season, finishing with 28 wins and 24 losses and a 1.86 ERA. In 54 starts he worked a total of 435.2 innings, striking out 32, while walking 17. Other clubs managed to hit only .259 against him.

NL Top Hitter, 1875 Choice Is White
Friday, October 29th, 1875: What a way to finish off the year -- being honored with the 1875 Outstanding Hitter Award in the National League. It had already been a very special season for Boston's Deacon White, but today's announcement really put the icing on his cake.

All season long Deacon White gave opposing pitchers fits by hitting .331 as he collected 87 hits, 11 doubles, 2 triples, 2 home runs and 31 RBIs.

Superb Year For Manning, Wins Outstanding Hitter Award
Friday, October 29th, 1875: Jack Manning of the Baltimore Orioles proved that you can step out of the shadows and onto the stage if you've got the talent and the drive to hone your skills. Hard work, long hours and a tireless resolve paid off for him today in the form of the American League Outstanding Hitter Award.

Manning hit for a .352 average while collecting 82 hits, 16 doubles, 1 triple, no home runs, 40 RBIs and scoring 47 times.

Sunday, March 26th, 1876: Philadelphia fans will be disappointed to learn that Martin Mullen suffered a strained hamstring while throwing the ball in today's game. After the doctor informed the Philadelphia Athletics manager that Mullen was expected to miss 6 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the right fielder could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.

Friday, October 27th, 1876: 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 American League for 1876. Here are the Glove Wizard Award winners:

Pitcher: Harry Arundel (Baltimore Orioles)
Catcher: Doug Allison (St. Louis Brown Stockings)
First Baseman: Herman Dehlman (Philadelphia Athletics)
Second Baseman: Steve Brady (Baltimore Orioles)
Third Baseman: Herm Doscher (Baltimore Orioles)
Shortstop: Chick Fulmer (Baltimore Orioles)
Left Fielder: Ned Cuthbert (St. Louis Brown Stockings)
Center Fielder: Oscar Walker (Philadelphia Athletics)
Right Fielder: Levi Meyerle (St. Louis Brown Stockings)

This season the 20-year-old first baseman played in 53 games, recording a .281 batting average with no home runs, 21 RBIs and 22 runs scored.

American League Selects Best Rookie
Saturday, October 28th, 1876: The pick for the American League's top rookie in 1876 is relief specialist Dory Dean. The Cleveland pitcher finished his first year in the league with no saves in 1 save opportunity and copped the AL's Newcomer of the Year Award.

In 13 relief appearances he ran up a 3-2 won-lost mark and a 3.40 ERA. In 55.2 innings, the Blues rookie fanned 5 and walked 4.

National League Pitcher of the Year Named
Monday, October 30th, 1876: The Chicago clubhouse staff referred to him as "the kid" this season. Next year Sam Weaver will have to have a new nickname. He earned it after winning the 1876 National League Outstanding Pitcher Award.

Weaver made 51 starts this year, winning 29 and losing 20. He threw 419.2 innings, fanned 73, allowed 470 hits and 22 walks, while holding opposing teams to a .262 average as he logged an impressive 2.08 ERA.

Orioles Star Wins 1876 Outstanding Pitcher Award
Monday, October 30th, 1876: He's in the early phase of his career, but this past season Harry Arundel performed like a veteran on the hill for the Baltimore Orioles and walked away with the American League Outstanding Pitcher Award in the process.

The 21-year-old Orioles star fashioned a 32-19 won-loss record in 1876 with a 1.79 ERA. In 482.1 innings of work and 56 starts, Arundel struck out 76 while giving up 499 hits and 32 walks. He held opposing batters to a .248 average.

NL Announces Top Batter Award
Tuesday, October 31st, 1876: What a way to finish off the year -- being honored with the 1876 Outstanding Hitter Award in the National League. It had already been a very special season for Brooklyn's Jim O'Rourke, but today's announcement really put the icing on his cake.

All season long Jim O'Rourke gave opposing pitchers fits by hitting .356 as he collected 94 hits, 13 doubles, 11 triples, no home runs and 31 RBIs.

Orator Shaffer Takes Best Bat Trophy
Tuesday, October 31st, 1876:
Orator Shaffer of the Cleveland Blues proved that you can step out of the shadows and onto the stage if you've got the talent and the drive to hone your skills. Hard work, long hours and a tireless resolve paid off for him today in the form of the American League Outstanding Hitter Award.

Shaffer hit for a .315 average while collecting 84 hits, 9 doubles, 6 triples, 1 home run, 32 RBIs and scoring 51 times.

Off Season

Deal: Hallinan for Gould
Saturday, November 11th, 1876: The Baseball News Network is reporting that the Atlantics and Athletics have consummated a trade. Philadelphia will receive 27-year-old shortstop Jimmy Hallinan in a swap for 29-year-old first baseman Charlie Gould and 22-year-old shortstop Lou Say. A league analyst called the trade a "pretty even transaction".

Career-to-date Hallinan has rung up a .278 average, played in 254 games and collected 22 doubles, 7 triples and 2 home runs.

Gould has a lifetime average of .266, has played in 123 games, and has collected 1 home run and 71 RBIs.

Brown Stockings Win Sweepstakes for SS Wright
Sunday, November 26th, 1876: As speculation mounted into the morning, rumors over a final agreement between George Wright and St. Louis became a reality, with the star opting for a $1,772 deal over 4 years.

In his career Wright has hit .312 with 459 hits, 53 doubles, 17 triples and 3 home runs. His totals also include 197 RBIs and 292 runs scored.

Trade: Worth for Holdsworth
Tuesday, December 5th, 1876: Several Orioles and White Stockings players soon will have to start shopping for a new home. It was announced today that the two teams came to agreement on a trade. Baltimore will get 26-year-old shortstop Jim Holdsworth and Chicago will pick up 29-year-old right fielder Herb Worth and 21-year-old catcher Bill Holbert in return. "I'm not surprised by the news," one of the players told reporters, "It's part of the business and I understand that. I am looking forward to playing for the Orioles."

In his all-time stats Worth is hitting .270 with 136 hits, 2 home runs, 93 runs scored and 90 RBIs.

Lifetime Holdsworth has hit .306 with 288 hits, 1 home run, 141 RBIs and scored 170 runs.

Baltimore Wins Lottery for 3B Anson
Tuesday, December 5th, 1876: Sportswriters, fans and team officials listened today as 24-year-old third baseman Cap Anson committed to a $1,296, 3-year deal with Baltimore.

While Anson is seen as a solid player, he is still relatively inexperienced.

In 304 career games Anson has batted .316 with 435 hits with 49 doubles, 23 triples and 3 home runs. He has also collected 203 RBIs and scored 236 runs.

Thursday Dec 7th 1876

Cleveland Inks Star C to $1,835 Deal
Sunday, December 31st, 1876: Team insiders were tight-lipped prior to today's deal that brought 29-year-old catcher Deacon White to Cleveland.

White is considered one of the league's A-list players and certainly will enhance any chances the Blues have to win a playoff spot this year.

In his career White has played in 310 games, totaling 463 hits, 52 doubles, 12 triples and 4 homers. He has hit .336 with 216 RBIs and scored 260 times.

It's Official: LF Hall Signs with Orioles
Saturday, December 23rd, 1876: Seen as a robust, fit and extremely athletic solution, left fielder George Hall took the podium this afternoon to announce that he and the Orioles had reached an agreement totaling $1,359 over 3 years.

Fans were elated by the news, seeing the signing as a critical step in the club's long-term outlook.

Hall has hit for a .311 career average and totaled 370 hits, 8 home runs and 167 RBIs.
