Description | Sycamore True Republican, July 16, 1870, reports a game played July 5th at the Sycamore Fair Grounds, between the Crescents of Sycamore and the Potter Palmer BBC of Chicago. The Chicagoans were leading 30-27 after 7 innings, then stalked off the field after demanding (and not getting) a change of umpires. The team was formed in June of 1870 (See the Chicago Tribune, June 19, 1870) and named for Potter Palmer. Potter Palmer was a prominent Chicago businessman and baseball backer. But he doesn't apepar to have been the team's sponsor. See the Chicago Tribune July 23, 1870. |
