| Text | March 28, 1864: “Supply train went to the station but did not get any soft bread. The 2nd Regt boys and a Massachusetts Battery had a game of base ball today. The 2nd Regt boys were the winners.” April 8, 1864: “Went to corps headquarters to see a base ball match between the 2nd Regt and the 77th New York. The New Yorkers did not appear.” Diary of Stephen Gordon, provided by Michael Albrecht May 15, 2009. The 2nd NJ, 77th NY, and 1st MA artillery were in the 6th corps of the Army of the Potomac, which was at Brandy Station VA in spring of 1864. The cancelled April 8th 1864 game was also noted in the New York Clipper of April 30, 1864. As noted in Patricia Millen, From Pastime to Passion (Heritage, 2001), page 22, Clipper correspondent W. B. Wilson complained that there was “great disappointment” among the gathered crowd when the match didn’t come off. |
