Double Header, Pitching Feats

On July 4, 1881 — On his birthday, Mickey Welch throws two complete-game victories when Troy Trojan sweeps a doubleheader from the Bisons at Buffalo’s Riverside Grounds, 8-3 and 12-0. The two wins give him 16 straight wins against the Bisons.

The 22 year-old future Hall of Famer, who finishes the season with a 21-18 record, will complete 525 games of the 549 he starts for the Haymakers (NA) and Giants (NL) during his 13-year tenure in the major leagues.
