Nick Name Utica
Earliest Known Date Monday, April 18, 1859
Location Utica, NY, United States
Description

A close game between the Utica Club and the Syracuse BBC occurred in mid-October, with the Syracuse winning 20-19. Peverelly dates the Utica Club to April 1859, but this is the first game account that we know of. It is found in the baseball clippings collection at the Onondaga Hist Assn.

The game account cites coverage in the Utica Telegraph: beside details of the post-game dinner, it saays "Mr. A. Wilkinson received the trophy [for Syracuse]. . . . The Syracuse Club took the cars at 8 1/2 o'clock." The game was umpired by a member of the Olympic Club of Syracuse, and griping ensued in print about his partiality.

A Syracuse cricket club had beaten a Utica cricket club that same week.

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know

Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
