The 1873 New York Mutuals base ball team were one of only three teams to have been in all five years of the National Association's existence (1871–75). They would eventually finish the season with a 29 and 24 mark. They won 22 out of 31 at home, and 7 of 22 away from home. They finished fourth, eleven games behind pennant winning Boston Red Stockings. The team had a batting average of .281, fifth best in the NA. They led the league in fewest batting strikeouts with 22, and fewest opponents runs.
Famous quotes containing the words york and/or season:
“New York was a new and strange world. Vast, impersonal, merciless.... Always before I had felt like a person, an individual, hopeful that I could mold my life according to some desire of my own. But here in New York I was ignorant, insignificant, unimportant—one in millions whose destiny concerned no one. New York did not even know of my existence. Nor did it care.”
—Agnes Smedley (1890–1950)
“Hence in a season of calm weather
Though inland far we be,
Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither,”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
