Week 1 Summary

Week 1 is completed and, well, there isn’t much really to report on yet as the NL has played only seven games and the AL doesn't actually start play until the middle of this upcoming week. I am not going to include leaders or do any sort of in-depth statistics analysis this week - there will be plenty of time for that. I have included the usual set of stats, mostly just to remind myself what I plan to do after each week

1901 Philadelphia Phillies
Regardless, the ATMgr is working as expected and I feel we are off to a good start. I have noticed that with only a 140 game season that the as-played schedule often has plenty of days with a less than a full schedule of games. Once you figure in the normal weather interruptions plus the normal (for 1901) sub-standard playing facilities and less than optimal travel options then the ability to get games played is going to be a challenge for both leagues. Never fear - the games will be played, as doubleheaders will be implemented and somehow, someway, the season will be completed.

The visitors, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had just completed their regular season two days previous, but were happy for the day off on Monday and were ready to go as well. South Side Park, Chicago IL There was a concern as to whether this event would ever happen as both the leagues were still at war with each other, but both leagues, both teams, and the players all saw an opportunit...

Philadelphia (NL) (H) 11 Brooklyn 2 Philadelphia started off the 1901 season by pounding last year's Champion Brooklyn Superbas for an easy 11-1 win. Jack Dunn (1-0) went all the way for the win, giving up eight hits and two walks for the day. Brooklyn's defense and starting pitcher Bill Donovan's (0-1) control both abandoned the team in only the worst of moments, opening the door for the Phillies. Catcher Ed McFarland led the Phillies offense with a 4-for-5 day that included two doubles and three RBI's as Philadelphia pounded out seventeen hits at home on opening day.
