[1] He was a member of the Red Stockings teams that won four consecutive National Association championships from 1872 to 1875.

[1] He played in only half of the Red Caps' games in 1877, and was moved to right field for the season, but was nevertheless part of a team that won the National League championship.

[3] In his final season, 1878, he played in only two games for a Red Caps team that won a second consecutive league championship.

[4] Schafer had a career batting average of .271,[1] and was a part of six championship teams in his eight seasons in the majors.
