June 1st, 1881 - It's been a very interesting first month of baseball that has seen multiple lead changes by several teams. Cleveland leads the league in most of the major team categories, and yet it is Buffalo that currently sits in the top position. This is thanks to a great start by Pud Galvin (2.24 ERA), and excellent hitting in the 1-6 slots of the Buffalo batting order.
Meanwhile Boston has announced today that they are releasing pitcher Tommy Bond, despite pitching in 2 games with a 2.00 ERA.
