[Mutual vs. Atlantic 6/28/1869] McMahon, next in order, hit the ball on the second or third delivery as hard as he could just as Eggler left first base. The ball went on an ascending line toward right short and Pike [second baseman], jumping for it, caught it handsomely and sent it quickly to first before Eggler could get back to the base, thus making a splendid double play and receiving for his work cheer after cheer from the assemblage. New York Herald June 29, 1869 [Thus implying that Pike was playing on the first base side of the bag]
