Text

"BASE BALL CLUB. - A number of gentlemen of this city have formed themselves into a club for the practice of the invigorating amusement of Base Ball. Their practicing ground is on the common east of the canal. We hope that this will be succeeded by a Cricket Club."

"Base Ball Club," Trenton (NJ) State Gazette (May 26, 1856) no page provided. Contributed by John Maurath, Missouri Civil War Museum at Historic Jefferson Barracks, 1/18/2008. Note: Is this the first known NJ club well outside the NY metropolitan area?
