Too Hot for Base Ball
Summer is coming soon. That means the temperature will be rising. Some things don't change.

The Holstons first game?
Adam Alfrey, co-captain of the modern day Knoxville Holstons that play as part of the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball, transcribed the following story on the team's website.
I think that Adam correctly says that to date this is "the the earliest reference to the Holston Base Ball Club playing a match in Knoxville...".
The club itself is mentioned the week before in a story about a Base Ball Convention that was held in Chattanooga. It was published in the Nashville Union and Dispatch on May 3, 1867.
Keep up the good work, Adam.
