Description | "The first recorded organized game was played in Sag Harbor on Saturday, May 4, 1867, between the Independent Nine of Sag Harbor and the Endeavor Base Ball Club of Shelter Island. This newspaper ran extensive coverage of that game, which was anything but a pitcher’s duel: Sag Harbor won, 58-25. The home team was stocked with players with the still familiar names of Filer (pitcher), Tooker (catcher), Whitaker (shortstop), J.E. Stuart (1st base), O.H. Filer (2nd base), J. Sherry, Jr. (3rd base), Stewart (left field), Huntting (center field), and Gardiner (right field). A.W. Havens was scorer for the Sag Harbor squad." |
