| Description | Peverelly (1866) p. 488 says the Swiftfoot Club organized July 6, 1866 in Philadelphia, but hasn't played any games of consequence yet. However, the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, May 4, 1866 reports that the Hatters Alert BBC played the Swift Foot at the new baseball/skating grounds at 24th and Ridge. Presumably this is the same team. Orion merged into it. Philadelphia Press, Aug. 26, 1866 Tholkes RIM has this club playing in 1865 |

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.
