The Brooklyn base ball management put up the fence around their ball ground so high that it is impossible for any wagons to drive up in the street and hire out standing room to the ten-cent class to look over and see the game. The fact is the fence is so high that the boys have great difficulty in seeing the game from the tops of the trees in the streets surrounding the ground. The Sporting Life May 27, 1883

thirteen man roster

Before the game was called all of the Athletic players, thirteen in number, were photographed in groups by an enterprising photographer, and the men all looked their sweetest, as they faced the camera. The Philadelphia Item May 27, 1883
