The Hartford Courant, July 2, 1862, reports that this club organized "Monday last" but had been playing for several weeks on "the park." Gershom B. Hubbell was elected president of the club. One source says the Charter Oaks evolved from the earlier Independent BBC. [ba] |

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.
