Goodbye to a friend
Richmond Times, June 4, 1906
The Colts yesterday bade farewell to a chap who has been a key element of the team's considerable success.
The contract of catcher "Rough" Bill Carrigan, the Holy Cross man, has been transferred to New Bedford of the New England League. New Bedford is in a faster circuit, and the Boston Pilgrims management, who owns Carrigan's contract, believes that Carrigan is ready for more challenging competition.
Carrigan takes with him a .372 batting mark, with 5 home runs and 27 runs batted in.
All fans of base ball in Richmond wish "Rough" the best of luck in New Bedford.
