Description

Some historians say 1831 which is the earliest known date of the club itself but 1860 is when they converted to playing baseball.

The Olympic Club of Philadelphia is listed as an NABBP member in 1861. Recorded are 3 wins and no losses.

Their clubhouse was at Broad and Wallace. Starting in 1857, they played at Camac Woods, and later still at Jefferson Street Grounds. [ba]

Comment

The Olympic Club had formed nearly 30 years earlier, and played two-old-cat and then town ball in its earlier days, converting to base ball in 1860. See Chronology entry 1831.1 and Philadelphia Town Ball for additional historical context.

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.
