Comment	Joe Sprague's debut with the Eckford of Brooklyn BBC. It has been reported repeatedly, mainly based on a Sprague's obit found in the New York Clipper (July 9, 1898, p 311) that he started the 1862 season with the Enterprise Club of Brooklyn. He was never a member of that club. Edit with form to add a comment
