Rob- those 1863 Grand Match tickets were admittance for a cricket match. From what I've read from newspaper accounts, and cited in my text, no baseball game was played due to bad weather. They are undoubtedly very early, but I don't feel comfortable calling them baseball tickets.

Barry, besides the benefit cricket games a strange base ball match was also played.

St. George's v. Base Ball
A strange mix of 18 cricket and base ball players against 9 baseballists...

Christopher Devine has a brief but funny account of the game involving little George Wright in his 'Harry Wright' book. Page 23.

Thanks Jimmy, I've never seen that. It's a bit gimmicky so not a real baseball contest.

Interesting Jimmy. I hadn't ever seen that either. I guess if there was ever a point in time to say that the game of cricket in the US transitioned into baseball, you couldn't point to a better moment than that game!

Thanks Bill!

BTW, I have always enjoyed collecting baseball tickets. I have been collecting them since 1972. I always have felt that a baseball ticket offers a direct link to a specific date in baseball history from the fans perspective. Pretty cool!
