	Earned Run Average : 1877 National League Top 25 Finding the American or National League leader in virtually every hitting & pitching statistic is easy-to-do. Finding the top 25 players during any given season is far more challenging. Baseball Almanac has taken away that difficult problem and is pleased to present the data you requested: "When you're playing 162 baseball games, you're playing almost every day, it's nice to have a guy (Jose Lima) like that around to lighten things up and have fun. It's a huge plus for us." - Detroit Tigers Pitcher Matt Anderson 1877 Earned Run Average Leaders Top 25 in the National League Name Earned Run Average Team Rank Tommy Bond 2.11 (2.1075) Boston Red Stockings 1 Terry Larkin 2.14 (2.1377) Hartford Dark Blues 2 Jim Devlin 2.25 (2.2540) Louisville Grays 3 Tricky Nichols 2.60 (2.5971) St. Louis Brown Stockings 4 Joe Blong 2.74 (2.7384) St. Louis Brown Stockings 5 George Bradley 3.31 (3.3122) Chicago White Stockings 6 Bobby Mitchell 3.51 (3.5100) Cincinnati Red Stockings 7 Amos Booth 3.56 (3.5581) Cincinnati Red Stockings 8 Bobby Mathews 4.04 (4.0361) Cincinnati Red Stockings 9 Candy Cummings 4.34 (4.3362) Cincinnati Red Stockings 10 Cal McVey 4.50 (4.5000) Chicago White Stockings 11 Name Earned Run Average Team Rank The first player from the Angels franchise (they were the California Angels at the time) to wear the number twenty-five was Bob Perry. Future Hall of Famer Sammy Sosa is best known for wearing number twenty-one; however, when the young slugger played for the Chicago White Sox (1989-1991) he only wore number twenty-five. Did you know that more than forty players have worn the number twenty-five for the Boston Red Sox — including Jack Clark, Denny Galehouse, Dizzy Trout and Tony Conigliaro.
