Most wins in the EL, and has completed more games (by 26) than anyone else. After the Chicago Fire, signed with a bad Washington club, but is now anchoring the rebuilt Browns. The Charmer is a delight to the press, and the ladies. With Aubrey Fraire, they are quickly becoming known as the 'Dandy battery'.

Like Rodney Stollings, played for the 1869 touring Kings. And, also like Stollings, was released in the wake of winning the title. Claessens was the field captain, making the release doubly hard to explain. Lead a very scandalous lifestyle in Cincinnati--to the horror of all. Not a fan favorite anymore, it is possible he just needs a change of scenery.

Perfect game 1872 against Washington, but has fallen into a funk the past two years.

I don't know what his problem was last season; he wasn't hurt and none of the Browns pitchers had the same credentials. He just did not get the call, a great pick up for someone.

The Unions won 4 titles, so it is hard to find fault with them--but those races may not have been so close if Tricky got a few more starts. Both Brooklyn and Philadelphia are wooing him.

Pitched the whole 1876 season with a lower level league after an outstanding rookie year. Chicago refused to increase his salary. With the glut of players, may sit out another season; if he comes back, he should be a top-flight pitcher.
