This is my 1856 data

I tried to PM you this but I could not figure out how too attach a document in a PM.

I have collected this data from numerous sources. It is about as good as it gets. I plan on doing the NABBP next, should take me a few months. Individual data is sparse and virtually useless consisting of runs and outs mostly. I guess some crude information could be gained from the ammount of games played and for which teams, but the real stat keeping did not begin till late into the NABBP.

Like I said I have completed what I call the Gentleman era - 1843-56.

I find this Pre NA era fascinating as the game evolved from professional people - doctors, lawyers and such - getting outside the city for some "vigorous excercise" to the birth of full grown continental professional leagues a quarter century later.

As I said I will be completing this thru 1870, for my own amusement, but I will be happy too share if there is interest
