| Text | "The cricket season last year was a very dull one, this clubs in this locality [Brooklyn] playing but a few matches, and those of no importance." BrooklynEagle, April 25, 1862. Contributed by Bill Ryczek, December 29, 2009. The downward swoop is summarized like this: "For several years, cricketers had been talking of forming as association similar to that set up by the baseball fraternity. Despite several meetings, they had not done so. At the annual convention of 1862, the Clipper noted the meager attendance and proclaimed the gathering 'a mere farce.' It despaired of cricket ever becoming popular unless it was made more American in nature. The disappointing convention was the last the cricketer would hold." William Ryczek, Baseball's First Inning (McFarland, 2009), page 105. The Clipper quoted is this May 24, 1862 issue. |
