Philadelphia Athletics Stats, Rosters, Schedules and Uniform Numbers by Baseball Almanac

PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS

After having spent fifteen years as a strong and stable independent / National Association club, the Philadelphia Athletics fared poorly in the newly formed National League, finishing in seventh place with fourteen wins in sixty games - thirty four and a half games behind the pennant winning Chicago White Stockings and only five wins ahead of the record setting lowest ever winning percentage Cincinnati Red Stockings.

Near the end of the 1876 season, the financially-troubled Athletics refused to make a road trip, finishing with thirty-five games played at home and only twenty-five on the road. Mutual of New York also refused and both clubs were expelled from the National League, which simply contracted from eight to six for the 1877 season.

"Uncle Ezra, as admiring Boston fans called him, was a power hitter in the bare-handed days. He once hit three consecutive triples in a single game and had respectable numbers for slugging average and total bases. Originally a cross-handed batter (from the righthander's side of the plate), he adopted the normal grip to enhance his effectiveness against pitchers' ever-increasing speed." - Author A.D. Suehsdorf on BaseballLibrary.com
