After the 1900 season, the Detroit Free Press wrote that not since the 1887 Detroit Wolverines won the National League championship had baseball been as "liberally supported" in Detroit, and the club's gate receipts had been "a source of envy to other magnates in the league." The paper noted that owners James D. Burns and George Stallings had spent large sums of money for "releases of star players" and had paid "major league salaries" to the majority of the players.Word About Sports Detroit Free Press October 14, 1900 19 https://www.newspapers.com/clip/14317159/word_about_sports/ Newspapers.com Players Batting Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; R = Runs scored; SB = Stolen bases Pos Player G AB H Avg.
