Comment | Richard "The Bard" Hershberger explained, 11/16/2020: "150 years ago today in baseball: a "complimentary benefit" game between the White Stockings and a picked nine. The idea behind a benefit game was that the gate receipts went to whoever the game was being held for. It might be an individual player, the players collectively, or some worthy cause. We saw a benefit earlier this year for the family of William Piccot, the late baseball reporter for the New York Tribune. Edit with form to add a comment |
