<div>Here is a mention of a cricket game players in 1859. Not really a big deal, but I did notice that the &ldquo;triangular park&rdquo; mentioned still exists today. You can see it when you use Google Maps and put in Park Street, Brookline. Hmmm, wonder if there could be a vintage game played there today to commemorate the event?</div>
