Win Mercer hopes to help the Washington club run their record to an early 2-0 against Wiley Piatt and the Athletics in today's game. Mercer will be beginning his 8th professional season at the ripe old age of 26. His 107-133 record to this point could definitely use some polishing. Piatt will get the start for Philadelphia. Wiley comes off three seasons pitching for the NL Philadelphia ballclub. He compiled a 56-39 record and if history is any indicator, he'll be a fine addition to the AL club's staff.
Milwaukee will attempt to shake off their most recent collapse at the hands of the Tigers. Bert Husting will get the starting nod, making his first professional start. He pitched twice in relief for Pittsburg last season, allowing 5 runs in 8 innings of work with no decisions. Despite questionable success to this point in his career, Joe Yeager will continue to pitch, this time for Detroit. Joe carries a 15-25 career record into this affair.
Cleveland hopes to build on their 2-0 start by sending Bill Hart to pitch for them against John Katoll and the White Sox. The 35-year old Hart is making a return to professional ball after being out the past two seasons. Hopefully he'll be more successful this time out as his career record coming into this season is 59-109. Katoll also didn't pitch in the 1900 season, having made four appearances for the Chicago NL team in 1898-99. Like Hart, he carries a less than desirable stat line into the season (1-2, 4.03).
Boston sends their venerable righthander, Cy Young to the mound today against Harry Howell and the Baltimore Orioles. Young just finished a two year stint with the Cardinals, going 19-19 with a 3.00 ERA in 1900. The 24-year old Howell is coming off a 6-5, 3.75 ERA with the Brooklyn club in 1900.
