| Text | May 15, 1862: "The Union Baseball Grounds at March Avenue and Rutledge Street in Brooklyn is opened, the first enclosed ball field to charge an admission fee." James Charlton, The Baseball Chronology (Macmillan, 1991), page 15. Query: is the claim here that there were no prior fees, or that such fees had not been assessed at closed fields? |
