| Comment | Richard Hershberger, 11/2/2022: 150 years ago in baseball: "Talk of the Boston and Philadelphia teams visiting England. This idea has been floating around for several years now, only gradually coming together. It will eventually happen in 1874. We can take this item as early marketing, to get the idea out there."

| Query | Do we know more about Thomas "Tim" Hall's role in early Boston base ball? Do we know why the named English gentlemen had come to the US beforehand? Do we know the names of Boston and Philly players planning to go? Edit with form to add a query |
