Description

Ackerley, Early History of Baseball in Knox College, pp. 39-40, citing Seymour vol. 3 p. 139 and Muelder's Knox College, says that in 1867 the College City Club of Galesburg played Monmouth College's "Classic" Club.

It is probable this was a Knox College club.

Any Knox College home game would logically have been played either on the campus itself (bounded by Cedar, South, Cherry and Brooke Streets) or in the "College Park" just to the north.
