| Text | "These two Clubs [Knickerbocker and Gotham] who rank foremost in the beautiful and healthy game of Base Ball, met on Thursday . . . . The Knickerbockers came upon the ground with a determination to maintain the first rank among the Ball Clubs, and they won the match handsomely [score: 22-7]." "Base Ball: Knickerbockers vs. Gotham Club," Spirit of the Times Volume 25, number 32 (September 22, 1855), page 373, column 3. From an email by Craig Waff, 11/4/2008. Craig thinks this may be one of the first attempts to tap a club as the best in the game; thus the long road to naming baseball's "champion" begins. The game had been played at Elysian Fields on September 13. |
