Comment	The Frederick Gunn school evidently had a baseball team in 1859. And a photo of an 1869 game of the alumni of this school was in Ken Burns' baseball documentary. See https://issuu.com/thegunnery/docs/gunnbulletinfall2021-web/s/14302984 Edit with form to add a comment

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know

Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
