| Text | ...a series of fifteen articles, constituting the by-laws under which the association is to be governed, were presented and unanimously adopted by the gentlemen present, comprising the holders of ninety shares. These set forth that the organization should be known as the Boston Base Ball Association, the officers to consist of President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary, who with another stockholder should constitute a Board of Directors. The stock, of which there is $15,000, is divided in 150 shares, having a par value of $100 each. One article states that a number of tickets entitling holders to membership in the club, with access to the grounds and rooms of the association and a season ticket to all games, would be issued in limited number, as the Directors might decide. Boston Herald January 21, 1871 There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of the gentlemen connected with the new professional base ball organization of Boston on the afternoon of Jan. 29th, at the Parker House, Boston, and before the meeting closed the new club had been fully organized and the nine selected for the grand campaign of 1871. ... The club will provide a ground which will be in keeping with the nine they have secured, and two hundred tickets of membership are to be issued, which will entitle the holder to a free admission to all games played on those grounds, and the use of the club room, but they will have no voice in the management of the club. The capital stock of the association is $15,000. New York Clipper January 28, 1871 |
