Text	"On July 9, 1853, The Spirit of the Times mentioned baseball for the first time, printing a letter reporting a game between the Gotham and Knickerbocker Clubs." William Ryczek, Baseball's First Inning (McFarland, 2009), page 163. Query: do we know comparable dates for other like papers - the Clipper, the Sunday Mercury, etc? Has someone already analyzed the role of assorted papers in the baseball boom?
