Description | From Protoball Entry #1856.24 – First Chicago Club Forms "Though baseball match games had been played in Illinois since the very early 1850's, the first Chicago Club, the Union, was not established until 1856." Query: are details of the earlier IL games available? Are we sure that the Union played by Association rules? [LMc] ]] |
Sources | John R. Husman, "Ohio's First Baseball Game," Presented at the 34th SABR Convention, July 2004. The cite for this is a newspaper article written in 1919. [Bruce A] |

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know
Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
