| Text | "The Great Base Ball Match of 1858, which was a best 2 out of 3 games series, embodies four landmark events that are pivotal to the game's history" 1. It was organized base ball's very first all-star game. 2. It was the first base ball game in the New York metropolitan area to be played on an enclosed ground. 3. It marked the first time that spectators paid for the privilege of attending a base ball game. 4. The game played on September 10, 1858 is at present [2005] the earliest known instance of an umpire calling strike on a batter."
