Awaiting Review
Nick Name Farwell
Earliest Known Date 1869
Location Chicago, IL, United States
Nine Class Senior
Description

The Chicago Tribune, Oct. 27, 1869, reports that the "Farwell nine" of Chicago beat the Crown Point, IN base ball club 35-34 at Crown Point Monday last, even though the Farwells played a man short (8 vs. 9).

Presumably this was a company nine sponsored by the wealthy Farwell family, Chicago dry goods merchants. A Farwell & Co. nine defeated the Field Lieter & Co. nine 52-36 in 1869, in a game between dry goods merchant companies. See Chicago Inter Ocean, Aug 29, 1869.
