THE CHAMPION CLUB TEAM OF 1888.
There were fourteen players of the St. Louis team who took part in forty
games and over, the first nine being as follows:
King, pitcher, 65 games; Boyle, catcher, 71 games; Comiskey, first
baseman, 137 games; Robinson, second baseman, 134 games; Latham, third
baseman, 133 games; White, shortstop, 109 games; O'Neill, left field, 130
games; Lyons, center field, 123 games; and McCarthy, right field, 131
games. The other battery players were Hudson, pitcher, 55 games; Milligan,
catcher, 63 games; Chamberlain, pitcher, 40 games; Herr, shortstop, 43
games, and McGarr, second base, 35 games. The other players are not named
in the official averages. The first nine who played in one hundred games
and over, and who led in batting averages, were O'Neill, McCarthy,
Comiskey, Latham, Robinson, White, and Lyons; Hudson, Milligan, Boyle,
King and Chamberlain, all of whom played in less than one hundred games,
following in order.
In fielding averages, Comiskey, Milligan, O'Neill, Boyle, McCarthy,
Lyons, Robinson and Latham.
The feature of the work of the team in winning the pennant was the
ability shown by Captain Comiskey in his position; the fine infield work,
too, of Latham and Robinson, and the outfielding of O'Neill and McCarthy
greatly aiding the batteries of the team. The full summary of the team's
work is given below:
