| Comment | For more details on this non-Knickerbocker-rules game, see http://protoball.org/Alleghany_Club_v_Pittsburg_Club_on_9_October_1857undefined --- In August 2017, in response to a query from the Baseball HOF, we revisited this unusual find. Bruce Allardice later reported (email of 8/12/2017): "Larry: There were RR connections east. But the traffic was more in riverboats west. Bruce" Bruce's general point was that in 1857, Pittsburgh was more regularly connected to Ohio Valley locations than those in the eastern USA. The players were Allegheny: Bolling, Barrand, Stephens, McClellan, Haslett, Lynch, Cutler, Falkner, Miller, Stubbs, Ludwick, Miller, McChesney For Pittsburgh: Lesley, Tatland, Parks, Cappy, Anderson, Reece, Elliott, Vierheller, Cochrane, Noble, Vick, Freyvogel and Reece The Pittsburgh Gazette, Nov. 13, 1857, reported that another game was be played on the West Common Thanksgiving Day, between the Pittsburgh and Allegheny clubs.
