The Highs

Ask the casual fan which team holds the FABL record for wins in a season and very few would name the long suffering Gothams. Yes, the 1895 Gothams won 105 games. They remain the only Federal Association team to clear the century mark.

That team featured John Jones who had 174 RBI and 173 runs scored. Both records that still stand today. Jones also batted .420 for the season.

Altogether there were five Gothams who batted in more than 100 runs, all contributing to a league record 1033 runs for the season.

Not to be outdone the pitching staff featured 35 game winners Morris Harris and Charlie Wilson, and 30 game winner Alexander Elliott.

Over their history the Gothams have had a few of the league's top players. John Jones is currently 6th on the all time list for batting average. Ossie Julious and George Blankenship join Jones at the top of most team leaderboards.

On the pitching side Ike Wetzel leads in wins and remains the only Gothams hurler with more that 200 for the team.
