| Comment | Mass, "Wheaton College Awakenings" p. 74 quotes an 1862 Wheaton College student diary in which the students says they played a "vigorous game of ball" in gym class. Unknown if this was baseball or some other ball game. Edit with form to add a comment |

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.
