As I look to get things started I'm planning on moving forward a week at a time and briefly highlighting some interesting things that occur. I'd like to move fairly quickly from week to week and just call out anything interesting from this experiment rather than give a detailed recap of each game. We'll see how this works, and adjust if necessary, but hopefully that will give a flavor of the leagues happenings. If there is anything specific that you'd like to see please let me know though.

-----------------------
Perhaps nobody had a worse debut than the Cincinnati Reds in week one. Not only did they lose at home to the Milwaukee Bisons, they gave up 18 runs, 24 hits, and committed 11 errors. Shortstop George Wright committed three of those errors, was hitless in his final three weeks and left three batters in scoring position at the plate.

The Reds won't have it much easier next week when they travel to Brooklyn to take on the Atlantics and 38 year old David Hallquist who pitched a complete game shutout in his debut.

Boston native Jordan Bernard is disappointed that he couldn't sign on with one of the two Boston teams, but the 36 year olds debut with Rochester was very impressive. Bernard was 4-5 on the night with a walk. Bernard hit a 3 run home run, drove in 6 runs, and scored 3 times in the Broncos 13-3 win over the Hoosiers.

The Cleveland Spiders and Chicago White Stockings each committed a league high 13 errors in their openers. Both teams lost, with the New York Rangers beating Cleveland 21-7 and the White Stockings falling 12-4 to the Buffalo Bisons.

The AL East, AL West, and NL West have yet to win a game this year, while the AL North, NL North, and AL South have yet to lose a game.
