NEW YORK HERALD, October 21, 1845 This is the gem issue which has been the desire of serious baseball collectors for some time. Page 2 contains a seemingly insignificant report of a baseball game to be played, the text reading: "The New York Base Ball Club will play a match of base ball against the Brooklyn Club, to-morrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken." This is, however, one of the earliest references of a bona fide baseball game to be had in any newspaper and as such becomes a keystone issue for any collection of early baseball memorabilia.  The report falls under the heading "Sporting Intelligence" and is accompanied by reports of fishing & horse racing.You get the complete 4 page issue which is in very nice, clean condition with several binding holes at the blank spine margin not affecting any text. A very rare opportunity for a very rare item!
