[b:8ebda1a14f]Sonny Hoffman probably is not in this picture, but it is a picture of the 1879 Cleveland Blues.[/b:8ebda1a14f]

[b:8ebda1a14f]William A. Sonny Hoffman[/b:8ebda1a14f]

Bats: Unknown, Throws: Unknown

[b:8ebda1a14f]Batting Stats[/b:8ebda1a14f]

Played 2 games in 1879 for the Cleveland Blues in the National League. He had 6 Plate Appearances with no hits, no walks and 3 strikeouts.

Since there is not much info on ole' Sonny, I will give a little information on the Blues and the games that he played in.

They were 27-55 and finished 6th in National League

The manager was Jim McCormick
Scored 322 runs, Allowed 461 runs. Pythagorean W-L: 28-54

Ballpark: Kennard Street Park

[img:8ebda1a14f]http://cbbbc.webs.com/Kennard%20Street%20Park%20Suntala.jpg[/img:8ebda1a14f]

In the first game Sonny played the team lost 7-3 to the Boston RedCaps (who would go 54-30 and finish 2nd) to go to 1-5 for the season. This was in the middle of their biggest losing streak of the year of 6 games and put them 5 games out of first. The second game he played was a win against the same Boston RedCaps 8-2, this time to go to 13-26 and 17 games out of 1st. Charlie Eden was arguably the best player on this team batting .272 with a .284 OBP, 3 HRs, 34 RBI, 40 Runs in 359 plate appearances.

The team that went on to win the National League in 1879 was the Providence Grays with a record of 59-25 and managed by George Wright (who also played SS).

I think they should reintroduce tie wearing to the majors. Lets have a little class.

Or to left field. I was trying to research the exact dimensions of this park and could not find anything. What I did find, however, is that any ball hit over the left field fence was considered a "groud rule" double. No wonder the highest homerun total for this team in 1879 was only 3, and all those were probably hit on the road.
