	St. Paul Position: p First game: DNP Last game: # of games: 0	The St. Paul Globe reported on November 16, 1887 that "Bingham, the Harvard pitcher, has signed with St. Paul for the next season." The Memphis Avalanche reported on December 5, 1887 that St. Paul had the first release of the season, J.E. Bingham, the Harvard pitcher. On December 26, 1887 the Boston Globe reported that Bingham signed with the New England League, and he played with Salem and Eaton in 1888.

Isaac Bingham's 'stint' in the Western Association lasted less than one month and didn't even extend into 1888. The St. Paul Globe reported that "Bingham, the Harvard pitcher, has signed with St. Paul for the next season" (November 16, 1887). Several papers reported at the time that he turned down offers from east coast clubs. The next month, the Memphis Avalanche reported "St. Paul comes to the front with the first release of the season - that of J.E. Bingham, the Harvard pitcher" (December 5, 1887). About a week later, he signed with Salem in the New England League (Boston Globe, December 16, 1887).

Bingham was a star pitcher with Harvard in the spring of 1887 as Harvard battled Yale for the collegiate championship. Yale won the championship, but Bingham outpitched Yale star Amos Alanzo Stagg in at least one game. After finishing up the college season, he signed to play with Duluth in the Northwestern League under the name Brewster. The false name (and background, as "Brewster" was said to be from California) was to protect his amateur status so he coud pitch for Harvard again next school year. By the end of the summer, is was widely acknowleged Brewwster was Bingham. He was released in September amidst rumors that he threw a game against Oshkosh, a charge he denied (St. Paul Globe, September 21, 1887). With his amatuer status gone (and despite an unipressove 5-16 record with Duluth), he was courted by various clubs before his brief time with St. Paul.

Bingham pitched for Salem in 1888 until that club folded in August, at which point he transfered to Easton (PA) with a handful of other players from the Salem club. His record with Salem was 7-13, a modest improvement over his previous season. He returned to Harvard in the fall (where he could no longer play baseball), and he signed with Minneapolis for 1889 with the intent to report in June. While he did report in mid-June, he was left in Minneapolis as the club went on a road trip, and subsequently released. He signed with Sioux City within a week (Sioux City Journal, July 19, 1889) to fill a gap caused by a suspension of Seibel. He played in just four games with the club and two more with Davenport before the end of the season. There was a suggestion that he had a sore arm while with Sioux City.

Bingham's baseball career seems to have ended when he graduated from Harvard. He returned to his hometown of Poughkeepsie, where he joined a law firm. He died on December 1, 1931 at the age of 66. His obituary in the Poughkeepsie Eagle-News mentioned that he was Harvard's star pitcher, nearly 45 years after he last threw a pitch for them.
