Yesterday I started the second season of my nineteenth-century Strat-O-Matic baseball league. Opening Day featured a rematch of last season's finals, with the champion Blue Legs hosting the Haymakers. The Haymakers put men on base throughout the game, but Legs starter John Clarkson wriggled out of every jam, giving up a single unearned run in a complete-game effort. The Legs roughed up Haymaker hurlers Cy Young and Old Hoss Radbourn, with Sam Crawford's three-run homer the decisive blow in a 6-1 victory. Next up, the Blue Legs face Honus Wagner and the Canaries tonight!
