1st June 1883
The fans of the Blues were hoping for better from their team in May but had to settle for a slightly above average month. The team managed to win 14 of the 26 games played as they drifted into 3rd place in the Al table 2 games behind the leaders. The fans will hope the team can push on next month and make a challenge on the pennant.
The month started as it was to go on by splitting the final 2 games of the home series against the Philadelphia Athletics 1-1. The team swept the Baltimore Orioles 3-0 at home before going 1-2 on the road to the Washington Nationals. The up and down form continued as they beat the Detroit Wolverines 2-1 at home before being swept 0-3 by the Boston Americans at home. The team responded in the following series by sweeping the Chicago White Sox 3-0 on the road before again dipping in form as they went 1-2 at home to the Louisville Eclipse. The month ended in patchy form with a 1-2 home series loss to the Philadelphia Athletics and a 2-1 road trip win against the Baltimore Orioles.
Roger Connor again showed why he is the star of the Blues line-up. He picked up 39 hits from 111 at bats in 25 game starts. This led to him scoring 18 runs and 12 RBI's for an average of .351.
The Blues players that made the cut for the Al All Star Squad were Catcher Charlie Bennett and Centre Fielder Roger Connor.
Bennett and Connor both started for the AL in their 8-5 win.
