Text	Constitution, by-laws and rules of the Empire Ball Club; organized October 23^rd, 1854 [New York, The Empire Club], per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 223. We have no record of 1854 games, but the following April, they took the field: "The Empire Bass Ball Club played their first regular season game at McCarthy's ground, Hoboken, yesterday afternoon. This club, consisting of some thirty young men, mostly clerks in the lower part of the City, was organized last year nearly at the close of the season." "Empire Bass Ball Club," New York Daily Times Volume 4, number 1125 (Thursday, April 26, 1855), page 8, column 1. Contributed by Craig Waff, May 16, 2009.
