The Grand Rail Baseball League
2 Oct 1876
Capitol League Baseball Recap:
On 23 Sep 1876, the Eagles won the Pennant! It was the first pennant awarded in the CLB and Doc Holiday was there to present the prize; he hoped it was the first of many. Athena easily clinched the playoff spot and would contest the Capitol Cup against San Francisco. Financially, the Eagles almost made $100k the first year, sustaining a sell-out at almost every home game. The way that Doc had set up the league was 5-times better than what the PCL was managing. Up next, the Capitol Cup; and the announcement of the rail expansion for 1877.
A look at the Grand National Rails at the end of 1876:
