1st January 1887
After seeing their team just miss out on the AL pennant the fans are looking to the front office to find the missing piece to take them one step further next year. The owner decided to keep the front office as it is and gave GM Luis Garcia and manager Ed Miller 4 year contract extensions.
The AL awards dinner had a smattering of Louisville players as Old Hoss Radbourn and Frank Hankinson picked up Golden Gloves along with Buck Ewing, George Gore and Tom Brown all picking up Platinum Stick awards.
The team were lucky to see every player decide to remain in baseball this year.
The team also added 4 players to the squad from the first year player draft. The first round saw the team selected Pitcher Charlie Parsons. The full draft log is given below.
All the draftees signed by the deadline.
