(I have tried to mention as many players as possible in a positive light. I included all pitchers and the offensive players who contributed multiple-hit games, RBIs, extra-base hits, and/or hits in general. These stats may differ with any other scorebook that was being kept at the field but I can only deliver the statistics from my book. I hope I have not left any deserving player from mention).
