Description	William E. Akin, "West Virginia Baseball: A History, 1865-2000" p. 10 says in 1866 Martinsburg formed three teams, the Berkeley, Star and Virginia. The Shepherdstown Register, Sept. 22, 1866 has a long article and box score of the game between the Potomac of Shepherdstown and the Virginia of Martinsburg. Says the Virginia has also been known as the Eagle and Berkeley. Martinsburg WV (1870 pop. about 4,800) is about 20 miles SW of Hagerstown MD. The team nickname reflects the reality that this part of "West Virginia" still considered itself part of Virginia.
