Text | [Mutuals vs. Atlantics 10/12/1868] The style in which the Mutuals opened play at the bat in this game shows that they are beginning to realize the advantage of hitting balls down and simply striving to secure their first base by safe hits, rather than by going in for long showy hits, which yield, on average, one home run for about ten outs by catches. The majority of hits made by the Mutuals in this game were sharp bounders on safe hits, dropping short of the out-field. |
