Baseball Is Back!

The first season of my nineteenth-century Hall of Fame league continues! After ten games, all three teams are sitting at 5-5, though the Haymakers have a +7 run differential (the other teams are both in the red) and an expected win percentage of .573, so they might take off if their luck evens out. Mike "King" Kelly of the Blue Legs -- one of the most fascinating characters in baseball history -- is the early frontrunner for MVP, as he's hit more home runs (three) than all other players in the league combined (two). The Haymakers' Cy Young was cruising as the league's top pitcher, but he got roughed up last night, while Tim Keefe of the Canaries is on the rise. All three teams have had their share of heroes and goats, and with eight more games apiece in our (rather brief) regular season, it will be a fun race to the finish!
