About This Item
Cincinnati's Red Stockings had held the all-time best perfect season record through 1869, winning all of their 67 games that year. Their record remained undefeated through the first part of the 1870 season until the memorable game against Brooklyn's Atlantic team on June 14, 1870 at the Capitoline Grounds in Brooklyn. Though Atlantic had already lost a game to the Red Stockings, they defeated Exford to regain the pennant in 1869, claiming the championship under the rules at the time which more closely resembled those of boxing. An estimated crowd of 15,000 witnessed Atlantic's 8-7 victory over the Red Stockings in eleven innings.
