Description | Morris, "Base Ball Founders" pp. 299-302 says the Lightfoot claimed to have started in 1850 and played by the MA rules pre-Civil War. It reorganized in 1865, which is when it played a documented game Aug. 18 on the Brookfield Commons, against a Brookfield club. They switched to the national rules in 1866. The Boston Daily Advertiser, Sept. 4, 1866 has the Lightfoot of North Brookfield playing the Nemanseck of Ware. |
