Default Great Story by Former Eagle Base Ball Player mid 1800s

Posted By: David McDonald

An enjoyable read! Thanks for posting. Amusing to read that in 1894 they were already nostalgic for "the good old days". Doubt they could even begin to imagine what it all would look like now.

"The days of such organizations seem to have passed, but an enthusiast derived more pleasure in witnessing the honest games of such teams as the Eagles and the Hampdens, than the 1894 games of the more scientific professionals."
