Date of Game 1867
Location Anadyr, Siberia, Russia
Description

A party of Americans 1865-67 tried to lay a telegraph line in the Wade and Anadyr River region of Siberia. According to one member's journal, during the last winter they amused themselves by playing baseball on the iced-over Wade River. Camp was near the mouth of the Anadyr.

This appears to be approximately the modern city of Anadyr.
