| Text | [A] The July 4 game between Henson and Unknown; New York Anglo-African, July 30, 1859. Per Sullivan, page. 34-36. [B] "November 15, 1859 - The first recorded game between two black teams occurred between the Unknowns of Weeksville and the Henson Club of Jamaica (Queens) in Brooklyn, NY." Email from Larry Lester, taken from his chronology of African American baseball, 8/17/2007. Chris Hauser, in an email on 9/26/2007, estimates that this notice appeared in the New York Anglo-African, and was referenced in Leslie Heaphy's Negro League Baseball. Note: Can we get text from the sourced citation, and a source for the text citation? Was this one game or two? |
