Notes and Roster
Once again, the Millers averaged more than 10 runs per game, and Perry Werden topped his previous year’s output by hitting 45 home runs—37 of them at Athletic Park with 4 coming in one game on July 23—to set a new professional record, one that would stand until Babe Ruth took up the business.  Others took advantage of Athletic Park’s short dimensions (even pitcher Chick Fraser had 15 home runs in 1895), and the Millers as a team hit 219 home runs, a single-season professional record that lasted for decades.
