Text | Fordham College reportedly played a game against Xavier College in 1859, using the new Association rules.
|
Sources | Per Dean A. Sullivan, Compiler and Editor, Early Innings: A Documentary History of Baseball, 1825-1908 [University of Nebraska Press, 1995], p. 32. Sullivan dates the game November 3, 1859, but does not give a source. |
Warning | Craig Waff [email of May 21, 2009] reported that he has not been able to confirm this game, and that press material from Fordham does not document the game. SABR's Baseball Index [TBI] cites a Fordham game in the June 16 1860 Clipper. |
