[Boston vs. Baltimore 9/10/1872] The rain had then begun to fall again, and continued to fall during the rest of the evening. Those present were allowed to go in and inspect the grounds for themselves, and the prevailing impression was that it was not in proper condition for a game. Shortly afterwards the Bostonians made their appearance in their uniforms, but with heavy coats buttoned over them, which a few did not lay aside at all. As the crowd was present and seemed to expect a game, it was determined to play an exhibition game for their amusement. The Lord Baltimores quickly doffed their ordinary clothes and donned their official raiment, only selecting a portion of their practice uniform, a red shirt, as a protection against the inclemency of the weather. But little skylarking was indulged in previous to the game, the boys hugging the stands or fences as a protection against the fine mist which was beating in their faces.
