A fun pickup from the The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette dated 01Oct1894. Direct your attention to the boxscore. There has been little change in format in the past 125 years. Traditional statistics, individual and team achievement, are very important to baseball, perhaps more than any other sport.
Unfortunately, the Pittsburgh “boys” lost their final game of that season to the Boston team in Boston.
Georgetown was noted as a highly ranked town for amateur baseball. Check out the results of the Georgetown team v Honus Wagner”s barnstormers - The Game.
