1903 Season Summary

The Cincinatti Reds made a late run for third in the division during a season in which they were supposedly rebuilding. But after the midseason acquisitions of Mordecai Brown and Ollie Pickering from Cleveland and St. Louis, in exchange for an aging Billy Hamilton, Gene DeMontreville, Fred Crolius, Ed Bruyette, Bill Fox, and Clark Griffith, the Reds turned to their pitching, and the staff excelled.

Perhaps the best surprise came from relative unknown Whitey Guese. In 24 appearances, 23 of them starts, Whitey went 10-12 with a 2.06 ERA with a .231 OAVG and .255 BABIP thru 201 1/3 IP.

1st round pick Miller Huggins showed promise after being called up in late June.

Awards and offseason coming up tommorrow...
