Description

A long article on early New Bedford baseball says the Wamsutta played a game July 4, 1866. See http://scvbb.org/2007/09/17/early-days-of-baseball-in-new-bedford-ca-1858/ (cited in Sons of Ocean entry).

The Barnstable Patriot, Sept. 10, 1867 has the Wamsutta BBC of New Bedford playing the Cummaquids of Barnstable. Gives a box score.

New Bedford Evening Standard, Oct. 13, 1869 reports the Wamsutta have disbanded. Probably named after the Wamsutta Mills.
