the 1870 game and the 1912 would get my votes. it might be of interest concerning the 1870 game to note that Spalding in his 1911 book America's National Game (pg 148) states that the loss broke the record of Cincinnati club and the "hearts of its players as well..." in his copy of the book, George Wright has written "not the hearts of the players but of clubs officers and admirers. G.W."
