[Cincinnati vs. Athletic 6/21/1869] The Athletics...did not make the fine display that was expected of them. They had, however, the entire sympathies of the audience, which was without exception the most bitter and partisan in its nature of any crowd it has ever been our lot to see assembled on a ball field–enthusiastically cheering the good plays of their favorites and greeting a muff or bad play of their visitors with hisses and jeers. Leonard, who made the catch of the game, capturing a high ball with one hand after a hard run, was not greeting with a single cheer.
