"A much more pleasing picture is the recreation enjoyed by the boys of the 33rd [MA] Regiment.  There were thirteen Sharon boys in the regiment and most of them had been members of the Sharon Massapoags, the state baseball champions of 1857. . . .

"They formed a nine of their own and soon defeated every team in the regiment.  The New York boys of the 136th regiment next fell before them.  At Atlanta their contest with a nine from the whole Cumberland army was crowned with success.   Though unfortunately, but quite naturally the victors became insufferably conceited."
