Ed was somehow a starting outfielder for three seasons despite an almost mystical inability to produce at the plate. He was a fulltime starter for the 1884 American Association champions, and batted .190 with nine extra-base hits in nearly 400 plate appearances! He must've been a wonder with the glove. Or perhaps he was married to the owner's sister ... records from that age are sketchy. To be fair to Ed, he did share the Mets' home-run crown for 1883, with his total of ... two. The picture of Ed shown here is a detail from a team picture found on Doc Lawson's Vintage Base Ball Page.
