"CRICKET MATCH – There will be a cricket match between the “Aristonican Ball Club,” of Roxbury, and the “Rough and Ready Ball club,” Brookline, Saturday, Oct. 29, commencing at 2-1/2 o’clock, on a triangular park, situated on Park street, Brookline. This will be the first match played by the “Aristonicans” since their organization." Source: Boston Post, October 18, 1859:4. Joanne Hulbert's 2/23 comment: "[T]here still exists a triangular shaped park on Park Street, in front of St. Mark’s Church. It conforms to the description stated above.) . . . I did notice that the “triangular park” mentioned still exists today. You can see it when you use Google Maps and put in Park Street, Brookline. Hmmm, wonder if there could be a vintage game played there today to commemorate the event?" |
| Query | Did the Rough and Ready club also play a form of base ball? [As of March 2022, Protoball lists 9 refs of Rough and Ready clubs in MA, mostly from South Walpole; none from Brookline. We have no other refs to a Aristonican club.] Edit with form to add a query |
