Both seasons were ones with three major leagues. West played for the Northwestern League champion Saginaw Old Golds in early 1884. After the league folded, he joined the Red Stockings. West was the first major leaguer ever to hit a home run in his final at bat. After his baseball career ended, West went into the retail liquor business and also engaged in a restaurant enterprise."Saginaw, Michigan Ball Clubs of 1883 & 1884 Return to Life"
