| Description | 1859.11 – Union College Forms Base Ball Team Keetz, Frank M., The Mohawk Colored Giants of Schenectady (Frank M. Keetz, Schenectady, 1999), page 2. Keetz does not provide a source. The New York Clipper, June 30, 1860 reports on a game between the Mohawk of Schenectady and the Union of Union College. Gives a box score. Same, June 2, 1860, gives the box score of a May 19 game between these two, but the Union Club is said to be of "Upper Canada." (Ontario). [ba] "By 1860, [Union College] class teams were competing at Union, setting the stage for the College's first know extra-mural game. On May 9, 1860, the junior class team, having issued or accepted a challenge, lost (22-31) to the Mohawks, probably of Cohoes. The College played other teams about the same time, and possibly a little earlier; no records survive . . . . The June 1960 Union College Magazine: "Some very exciting matches have already been played, and challenges have been passed between this and several other colleges. [T]he game is found to be an excellent promoter of speed of foot, an accomplishment by no means to be despised." |

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know
Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
