1883 NA June Standings
1883 AA June Standings
NL - The Beaneaters move a little further ahead at the halfway point. No team is within 5 games and the Trojans are the only team not behind in double digit games. Detroit, in thier 3rd season, are struggling once again while the Quakers are still in 9th, only 9 games under .500.
NA - League 1 is now a three team tie at the top, with the Canaries, Mansfields and Kekiongas all knotted up at the top. The Olympics are 3 games out and the Forest Citys are 5 games back. Quite and interesting mid season race. In League 2, THe Eckfords caught up and took a game lead over teh Westerns and Marylands. The race is definitely a close one here too.
AA - The Brown Stockings and the Red Stockings are tied for the lead, 7 games ahead of the Buckeyes, the best starting new franchise in any league so far. The Metropolitans are still in dead last, struggling very hard so far.
The season is about half over and it is heating up all over the place. The rest of the 1883 season tomorrow night.
