Text	"It was in the fall of 1838 that we remember the first cricket match played in Brooklyn. The game of course, was a great novelty to the Brooklyn people of the time, except to such portion of them as wren of English birth. . . . The contestants were Nottingham men and Sheffielders." Sheffield won, 167 to 44. "Sporting Reminiscences," Brooklyn Daily Eagle, July 16, 1873. Contributed by Gregory Christiano, December 8, 2009. Citing material in the Chadwick scrapbooks, Ryczek's Baseball-s First Inning (page 101) calls this contest the "first widely-reported 'modern' cricket match."
