The final game of the regular season was played yesterday, but it meant little. Buffalo and Chicago wrapped up the season a few days ago by clinching the pennant of their respective league.
Buffalo in particular has dominated all season, while Chicago has had a few teams attempt a blitz on them, but none succeeded. Just two weeks ago, the Cleveland Green Sox were two games down with a three-game series with the Orphans the next day. But Chicago swept them, solidifying their lead.
The Federal League officially added Randall Mitchell to its record book as well today. The 35-year-old right fielder for the Brooklyn Tip-Tops put up the top batting average in the league with 180 hits in 498 at-bats for a .361 average. Mitchel played in 139 games and chalked up 38 doubles, 2 triples and 2 home runs, while batting in 72 runs and scoring 56 times.
This year's United League batting title went to Paul Zachery of the Keystones. During the regular season he slapped out hits at a .358 pace (222-620) to win the honor. The 25-year-old Philadelphia left fielder played in 149 games and had no home runs, 60 RBIs and scored 90 runs.
Expect plenty of coverage over the next few days as the first Presidents Cup Series begins.
