Description

The New Orleans Times, Jan. 14, 1867, lists a number of local base ball clubs, including the Robert E. Lee, Creole, Pioneers, Hope, Crescent and Palmetto. Same issue has a box score of a Hope BBC "of the City Park," largely made up of German surnamed players.

A Hope Base Ball and LaQuarte Club played pre-Civil War in Gretna, across the river from New Orleans. See Jones, Louisiana Tigers. Same club?

There was a Hope BBC (perhaps a different club) whose game (with box score) was reported in the New Orleans Times Oct. 22, 1866, which says this Hope BBC had been in existence 2 and a half years. Its roster is much more Anglo/Irish than the Hope BBC above. See also New Orleans Democrat Nov. 10, 1868; New Orleans Picayune Aug. 17, 1869 for more box scores of this Hope BBC.
