| Text | "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 |
| Warning | |
| 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. Edit with form to add a comment |
