Hi Scott
You got it....you're the Trivia King tonite.
In Philadelphia, a fellow by the name Jim Murray (a Carrier Pigeon trainer) would send BB scores to Telegraph Office via by Carrier Pigeon every 1/2 inning.....circa 1883.
Speaking about 1883, let's try another trivia question for you....what is significant about this year with respect to the Philadelphia Phillies ?
