Description | The first organized baseball game played in Atlanta took place May 12, 1866, in a field on Hunter Street west of Oakland Cemetery. The Atlanta Base Ball Club lost to a newly formed challenger, the Gate City Base Ball Club, 127 to 29.[Franklin Garrett, Atlanta and Its Environs (1954), pp. 725-727] Atlanta GA (1860 population 9500, 1870 population about 23,000) is about 230 miles NW of Savannah. We are trying to verify the location of Gate City GA. |
