A junior club? Or (more likely) was there a Putnam Jr. club too? See list of Brooklyn's 1858 junior clubs at Chronologies 1858.47. Aka Putnam Club of Williamsburg. The town of Williamsburgh, along with the adjoining town of Bushwick, was annexed by Brooklyn in 1855, and the town name dropped the final "h". What was Williamsburg became the 13th-16th Wards of Brooklyn, part of Brooklyn's so-called "Eastern District." But the name for the neighborhood lived on. Williamsburg(h) had 30,781 residents in 1850. |

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.
