| Text | There are conflicting accounts of when base ball arrived in Rochester. According to the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (August 6, 1869), the town's first team, the Live Oak Club, had formed in 1857. A member of the club, quoted in 1903, also gave 1857 as the inaugural year, noting that the club "played unnoticed" that season. [Rochester Post Express, May 1, 1902.] Rochester baseball historian Priscilla Astifan [email of March 24, 2010] points out that it seems certain that the National Association rules were in effect in 1858, as seen in published box scores in that year. One source, however, suggests a different club and an earlier year for base ball's local debut. "The first baseball club in Rochester was organized about 1855. . . . The first club was the Olympics." |
