Text	"The first organization composed mostly of American natives was the Philadelphia Cricket Club, formed in 1854." William Ryczek, Baseball's First Inning (McFarland, 2009), page 105. It was in 1854 that an all-US match occurred, perhaps the first [see #1848.11 for another claim]. The New York Times on August 11, 1854, covered a match between New York and Newark, noting, "this ends the first match played in the United States between Americans. Let us hope it will not be the last." Contributed by Beth Hise, January 2, 2010. Note: This assumes that the elevens at Haverford [see #1848.8] don't qualify for this honor.
