David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 224, lists 7 clubs with new rulebooks in 1858. They include base ball clubs in Stamford CT [Mazeppa BB Club], Newburgh NY [Newburgh BB Club, Louisville [KY]? [Louisville BB Club], New York City [Independent BB Club], South Brooklyn [Olympic BB Club], Jersey City [Hamilton BB Club], and, formed to play the Massachusetts Game, the Takewambait BB Club of Natick MA.
