About the only thing that fits my budget...
When it comes to pre-1870 Base Ball, the only things that my budget allows are newspaper articles and woodcuts. Still, I love reading these early accounts of games in the prose of the day.
Here are a few from Newark, NJ in September 1855. I grew up right outside of Newark (South Orange, NJ). The name of the newspaper is the The Newark Daily Advertiser September 5, 1855  September 6, 1855. this one references a game at Hoboken between the Gothams and the Empires  September 13, 1855. A match between the married mend and the single men  September 20, 1855. Seems that there was a regular weekly game between the Married and Single men of the Newark Club Also announces the formation of the "Empire Club" as only the 5th organized club in the city.
