Um. Not sure. All I know is that in 1875 the Boston Red Stockings were the league leaders with a record of 71-8 and the Philadelphia Athletics were 15 games behind. And the once mighty Brooklyn Atlantics came in last.

But speaking of the Boston Red Stockings, they really gave a poor accounting of themselves over the last month. You know, our bartender speaks with a slight New England twang. It's possible she knows someone from that area and can explain their dismal demise.

BTW, there are no New York Knickerbocker fans in this thread, are there? Because, you know, I'd have to, sorta, shoot 'em.

Wait.
*sound of a trigger being cocked back* Haggis is getting pretty loose with my money. If I want to buy the lady a drink I'll offer it myself. Drink, reg?

I don't know, he was the least interesting of the Sweathogs. I mean they all had fun catch phrases except him. Well, he had, "Mr. Kotta, I got a note." But what did the note say? Maybe it said the Red Stockings were going to lose.

It might have said that. We'll never be sure though. They were all signed "Epstein's Mother," and I think Gabe Kaplan threw them out. Or at least he would throw them out a hundred or so years from now.
