In a field of two, I am honored.

Ed Delahanty was a 20 year old rookie in 1888 when he joined the Philadelphia Phillies. His first 5 years he averaged only .270 BA.

Then in 1893, he hit for a .368 BA. For the following 10 years of his career, Big Ed consistently hit well above .300 (including .400+
in 3 of 11 seasons).

I calculated his Batting Average for these 11 years, and it is an amazing .373

Ted-I like that N173. Is that yours? Here is an 1890 cabinet of Big Ed from his time in the Players League. It is the only copy I have ever seen.

Hi Ted! Hope all is well with you and the family.

Hi, Ted,

I concur with your evaluation--Big Del is also my favorite 19c player. Here is my only card of him. I also liked Casway's bio which I reviewed for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Stay well,
Mike
