Comment
The first organized games of the Syracuse Baseball Club were played in the fall of 1858. These games pitted the married against the single members of the club. Games were played on a vacant lot on Otisco Street (later the site of May School) and on Catherine Street, opposite Rose Hill Cemetery. The first contest was played on October 23, 1858 and won by the married members 31-20. Two other games followed that fall. In the rematch the singles prevailed 37-24, while the married took the final game 44-38.
 
The grounds at the corner of Fayette & Geddes streets hosted the first game by picked squads on November 5, 1858. Captained by William H. Geer and Frank Marsh ended with Geer's on the better end 30-24. (syracusebaseballhistory.blogspot.com/2012/01/history-of-syracuse-baseball-chapter-1.html)
