I ended up not putting in a bid at the last minute, but was curious if this was indeed a deal. I couldn't find much on Scranton in the 1860's, although I did find where this W.M. Silkman did play for the team in 1866 and was the V.P. in 1867.
Was Scranton considered a team in the pioneer days of baseball? Did they play against any of the future major league clubs; Cincy, N.Y, etc?
