"A GAME OF BASE BALL ON THE ICE.-- ...when it is taken into consideration that the players had skates on, the score may be called a remarkably good one-- equal to the majority of games which take place on terra firma."

Sources

New York Sunday Mercury, Jan. 22, 1860

Comment

The Live Oak Club of Rochester had played a team of players from other clubs in that city, and defeated them 30-29, 12 per side.

A side effect of the skating craze which arose in the same period as the base ball craze, ice base ball was played well into the 1880s.
