From Protoball Entry #1856.24 – First Chicago Club Forms
"Though baseball match games had been played in Illinois since the very early 1850's, the first Chicago Club, the Union, was not established until 1856."
John R. Husman, "Ohio's First Baseball Game," Presented at the 34th SABR Convention, July 2004.
Query: are details of the earlier IL games available? Are we sure that the Union played by Association rules?
