First appearance: our baseball club and how it won the championship
As a supporting figure in Our Baseball Club and How It Won the Championship, Mike Costigan is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Telegraph messenger who discovers Ben Burton's treachery by finding a torn telegram.
Costigan is one of the Nine's supporting players, the sort whose contributions on the field and off quietly shape the club's chances. His alertness sets him apart from teammates content to simply play their positions, and that instinct places him near the story's pivotal discoveries. As the Catalpas move from practice games into the championship struggle, his role grows from roster name to someone whose observation matters.
