"Professional baseball is on the wane. Salaries must come down or the interest of the public must be increased in some way. If one or the other does not happen, bankruptcy stares every team in the face." -Albert Spalding, player, owner, and sporting goods magnate, in a January 1881 issue of the Cincinnati Enquire. |

The history of the game of base ball has been partly written at several different times, but there has never been a complete history, and very likely never will be.Source: Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide, 1878.
