Default 1869 Gibson House 3 dollar bill?

On May 10, 1869 the Cincinnati Red Stockings Played a home game , beating the Kekiongas Of Fort Wayne Indiana, 86 to 8. It was the second “official game” and first against a visiting team. (The first 2 Games were not against organized teams and were considered practice games.)
The Gibson House in Cincinnati seemed to be team headquarters. It is where celebrations were held, players stayed before their trip East, and where crowds gathered to hear score updates when the team was on the road. I have an interesting $3 bill from the Gibson House dated May 10, 1869 in print and it is signed in print by the proprietors, AG Corre and HB Sink. Both were members of the Base Ball Club, And Corre was the VP.
I wonder if anyone has ever come across anything that directly connect the issuance of this bill to the team? Unlikely I know, but possible given the date and association.

Default Gibson House

Wonderful contextual item, but I think you have captured the relationship of The Gibson House well as it relates to the team. Not an official relationship, but certainly a hub for activity related to the Cincinnati ball club.

Should you ever decide to part with it, please keep me in mind.

Thanks Dave, I was hoping you might know something definitive, even though I didn’t think there was one. I sent you an email.
