	19TH CENTURY STARS
		Stovey was only a.288 lifetime hitter and only accumulated 1770 hits, both impressive, but certainly not stats that would point him to the fifth highest total of the century.
		Stovey rated that highly because he was a player who had a tremendous peak value.
		Stovey looks to be a little down the road due to his.288 ave and the fact that when we add career bonus points, he will probably fall a little.

		Stovey combined slugging power with great running speed and a strong arm.
		He was the first to wear sliding pads and among the first to slide feet first.
		Gentlemanly and articulate in an age when few ballplayers were, he played as Stovey rather than Stowe (his real name) so that his mother would not see his name in box scores.

	Going deep on home run leaders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Stovey, like Hall and Ruth, held for awhile both the single-season and career records.
		His 1883 mark is not a fluke; he won more home run championships than Ted Williams, 5-4, and is also the only player in major league history to lead the league in triples and home runs in the same season twice in his career (1880, 1891).
		Incidentally, while he played under the name of "Stovey," his real name was Harry Duffield Stow; the reason he gave for the subterfuge was that he didn't want his mother to know he was a ballplayer.

	Paul Hines
		Bill James called Hines the best National League centerfielder of the 1870s, but also the least admirable star, as he "was castigated by [league president] William Hulbert in an open letter for his lack of hustle and poor attitude." By the start of the 1884 season, Hines was an established 32-year-old star.
		His 21 lifetime homers were the third-best on the all-time list, behind only Charley Jones and Harry Stovey.
		In 1884, Hines was still in center field for the Grays, and put in his usual performance as the team's dominant hitter.

		Why he changed it I don't know; perhaps he promised his mother he wouldn't play under his real name, as Harry Stow, a.k.a.
		Harry Stovey, a contemporary of Welch, is known to have done.

	Baseball's Triple Plays - Distinctive & Unusual
		O’Brien threw to first, thinking he was retiring the batter Bill Greenwood, and Harry Stovey, the first baseman, threw back to O’Brien when he noticed Knowles coming home.
		Decision — Stovey’s throw to Cub Stricker, at second, and Stricker’s throw to Fred Corey, at third, putout the runners and the batter when the umpire ruled that Stovey had legitimately caught Macullar’s line drive.
		However, first baseman Jake Beckley caught the ball and tossed to second baseman Harry Arndt and, although he muffed the ball, was able to putout Huggins.

	Nashville Sounds
		The Baltimores justly rank amongst the first clubs of the National League and have had advantage of good steady practice during their protracted trip through the South, but the Nashvilles made it most interesting for them all along the line, and but for timely batting of Treadway and Stovey the game might have terminated differently.
		This was the first appearance with the locals, and it was signalized by a hearty greeting from the grand stand.
		The Nashville manager was Ted Sullivan with George Treadway and Harry Stovey the Orioles right and left fielders.
