Text	It would be rather rough on that elegant disciple of Lord Chesterfield, Mike Scanlan, if both the Metropolitans and Brooklyns concluded to remain in the American Association, and he and his $4 ball players would have to eke out an existence in that little side show, the Eastern League, next season. By June Mike and Harry Diddlebock will be all that is left of it. Cincinnati Enquirer December 28, 1884 Mike Scanlan is chuckling and having a good time over the prospects of his team being a member of the American Association next seaon. Mke had better reserve his exultant yells until he is safe out of the woods, as there is lots of truth in the old saying, “The best laid plans of mice and men,” &c. The Mets may conclude to try it again next season, and if they do the Eastern League will fit Mike's case exactly. Cincinnati Enquirer December 28, 1884
