Text | "The first regularly organized team in New England was the Boston Olympics of 1854. The Elm Trees followed in 1855 and the Green Mountains two years later."
|
Sources | Seymour, Harold, Baseball: the Early Years [Oxford University Press, 1989], p. 27. [No ref given.] It seems plausible, given similarity of phrasing, that this finding comes from George Wright's November 1904 review of baseball history. See#1854.3 below. There is also similar treatment in Lovett, Old Boston Boys, (Riverside Press, 1907), page 129. |
