| Description | Morris, "Base Ball Founders" pp. 296-299 says this club was founded in 1865. One of the players, Luther Askin, was African American, and this is asserted to be the first recorded instance of a multi-racial baseball club. The New York Clipper, June 23, 1866 reports that the Hampden Club of Chicopee defeated the Eagle of Florence 36-10. |

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know
Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
