Today In History: April June 19, 1846
June 19, 2007 9:26 am
Today Should Be A National Holiday.
According to Wikipedia, the first baseball game was played 161 years ago today in Hoboken, New Jersey. Apparently the Knickerbocker Club of New York was humiliated by the New York Nine, losing 23 to 1.
Perhaps in honor of this great day, our beloved Nationals will avenge last night’s heartbreaking 9-8 loss to the Tigers.

Hannah, as you know I get to approve all comments before they post. I certainly wanted to mark your misguided exclamation as spam, but I believe in free speech. Go Nats.
I don’t really car for either, but I’d have to say I’m with Hannah on this one. I don’t think the Nats are worthy of being DC’s baseball team.
Even back then New York was good…
hummm…your post entry is title “Today In History: April 19, 1846″ but you posted on JUNE 19th?
so which is it? June or April? I am a little confused…
Yeah, never mind the Nats, when the Yankees are on a winning streak! (Just ignore their loss to the Rockies…) But you’re right Jonny, New York was good even then…
15-1…. interesting score. Sorry, Nats fans. Tigers still rule.
Mitch is the only smart one reading this…I can’t believe that no one else noticed the date…
I know that my excuse is summer! (then I turn off my brain, and don’t think!) ;]
Wow! I didn’t even notice the date…
Care to comment?
