On wood detail this morning. This afternoon the 9 best base ball players of the 2 New York Troy regiment play with the best 9 Jerseymen in our brigade for &lt;em&gt;300.00. &lt;/em&gt;The Jersey boys beat 20 inings &amp; a ining not played.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Heyward Emmell, Journal, April 22 1863. Provided by Michael Aubrecht, May 15, 2009. It would seem that Emmell was not familiar with base ball, or the game was played by unusual rules. A NPS research note places Emmell in the 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; NJ regiment, which may have been in the same brigade as the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; NY and 9&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; NJ. &lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; the men were about to fight at Chancellorsville in VA, but we do not know the location of this game.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The New York Herald, April 29, 1863, appears to report this game, in a letter datelined April 24 from "near the Rappahannock." The 2nd brigade, 2nd spanision, Army of the Potomac included 4 NJ regiments and the 2nd NY. A team from the 5th/7th/8th NJ played the 2nd NY for $100 a side and "betting ran high." NJ won. Gives a box score.&lt;/p&gt;". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
