I'm surprised the White Stockings were that heavy.  I thought they might be more like 150 lbs.

Remember that many or most weight estimates from the 19th century (and probably later) were educated guesses based on photographs, many years after the fact.  There seem to be an unusual number of 1800s players listed at like 5' 6" or 5' 8", 180, which is kind of chunky.  And it's not like these guys were lifting a lot of weights.
