In the first game of my nineteenth-century league, Cy Young of the Haymakers opened the first inning by giving up back-to-back extra-base hits to the Billy Hamilton and Nap Lajoie, but then settled down to toss eight straight shutout innings. Meanwhile, Blue Legs starter Kid Nichols had a few shaky frames and allowed the Haymakers to string some hits together. The end result was a 4-1 win for the Haymakers, with Wee Willie Keeler flashing a big bat despite his tiny stature. Next up, the Haymakers try their luck against a Canaries team that features the legendary Honus Wagner, one of the five original Hall of Famers.
