Group Of Two 1860’s Baseball Related Letters
Back in the 1860s, according to a brief newspaper report under the heading of “base ball”, a so-called “very interesting game was played” in Massachusetts. The Lightfoot Club scored 27 times; the Warner Club, 18. There were only two home runs. But before the event, a carefully composed and properly written letter asked that the two teams meet “as early as practical to take action in regard to the coming match,” was sent from one club to the other. Two baseball related letters give the true fan of baseball history an early look at a game long before it was to become the great American sport. The short newspaper clipping refers to that “very interesting game.”
