The Chicago White Stockings‚ the defending NL Champs‚ edge Hartford 6-5 in their home opener
On May 8, 1877 The Chicago White Stockings‚ the defending NL Champs‚ edge Hartford 6-5 in their home opener. Cap Anson and John Glenn each have 3 hits‚ while batting champ Ross Barnes adds 2 hits‚ despite the new foul rule that makes a ball that goes foul before reaching 1B or 3B a foul ball. The old rule‚ under which any ball that bounced in fair territory first was fair‚ enabled Barnes to hit many a safe “fair-foul” past the third baseman.
