Anyone know about the 1877 Delawares baseball team of Port Jervis N.Y.?
Hi all, Can anyone tell me any history of the 1877 Delawares baseball team from Port Jervis N.Y. ? I'm researching the 15 ¼ tall by 9 ¾ wide broadside below. You've probably seen this before as I had it on another post about broadsides. Barry Sloate, you've been summoned!
Thanks -Carlton

There is a reference to the Delawares beating Cornell in June 1877 here:

Mike King Kelly connection
timzcardz, Thanks a bunch for that link..from what that book says Mike "King" Kelly played for the Delawares in 1877 and it talks about when they played Cornell...Unless the Delawares played Cornell more than once in 1877 it's likely Kelly played catcher in the game my poster advertises....that's incredible to me. Especially since I've had that poster about 17 years and never knew it till now..thanks to you! And now that I'm looking into Kelly, he's pretty colorful....died at 36 years old.. timzcardz, you the man! -Carlton

You're certainly welcome.
I agree with you that from the write-up in the book that it appears to be the same game, as the book has it being the second game that he played with them on a rail trip immediatley after June 10th. That is some great information to put beside the very interesting piece that you have.
