Description	First known game: September 7, 1869, vs. the Riversides of Nashua. The Clipper BBC was made up of former members of the Lafayettes and Hunky Dorys. On October 11, 1869, the Clippers challenged Riverside to a game, which was played October 16; score not available. In February 1870, the Clippers appeared at a ball in their new uniforms. The uniforms were of flannel, the shirts white with a blue shield, upon which was the letter C. Belts were white with "Clipper B.B.C." in blue. Pants were dark blue with a white stripe, and shoes were white. (description from Nashua Daily Telegraph, Feb. 23, 1870).

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.
