The box score of a game between the Richmond and Ashby Clubs of Richmond, VA, on September 4, 1866, and reported in the Richmond Daily Dispatch of September 5 is the first known to have listed substitutes. Both were injury replacements, the only circumstance for which substitutes were then permitted.
