Description	Peter Morris et al, editors, "Base Ball Pioneers, 1850-1870" has a section of this team. The team played at Hotchkiss Field (near the home of Julius Hotchkiss) and Douglas Park. In 1870 they moved to a park at the corner of Washington and Berlin Streets. In 1871 they moved to a park bounded by River, Eastern, Silver, and State Terrace Sts., where the 1872 pro team played. This site is currently the Maplewood Terrace Housing Development. Middletown CT (1870 pop. about 6,900) is about 15 miles S of Hartford.

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.
