Brandywine Baseball Club (West Chester, PA) This article was written by Charlie Weatherby Several varieties of bat-and-ball games were popular in early 19th-century Philadelphia and it took more than three decades for players to formally organize the sport of baseball. According to author John Shiffert, “Philadelphia, Philadelphia organizations, Philadelphia players and Philadelphia administrators all played a vital role in the development of the National Pastime. … Thus, when two groups of young men banded together to form the first true organized ball club, the Olympic Town Ball Club of Philadelphia [in July 1831], they moved the game in the direction of organized sport.”1 As the sport became popular, clubs from other parts of the area followed: Minerva in 1857 and Keystone, Mercantile, Athletic, Equity, Winona, and Hamilton in 1860. Another seminal event was the formation of the National Association of Base Ball Players (NABBP) in 1857.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Joe Borden This article was written by Charlie Weatherby Joe Borden, an amateur who broke into professional baseball at the age of 21, had a short but notable two-year major-league pitching career, playing in 39 games and posting a record of 13-16 with an earned-run average of 2.56. Although his record appears unassuming, he is best known for pitching professional baseball’s first no-hitter, in 1875, and winning the National League’s first game, in 1876. He was also involved in a few other “firsts.” In an era when pitchers threw underhand from 45 feet and batters could request a pitch location, Borden’s pitching style was described by pioneer baseball writer Henry Chadwick as “having speed, but with little strategy. … In addition to his swiftly moving fastball, he also delivered a curveball that moved down and away from right-handed batters. Both pitches he delivered from a low arm angle.” He was called “phenomenal” when he broke in, but was released in the middle of his second season, causing Sporting Life to note that Borden’s career “went up like a rocket and came down like a stick.” Joseph Emley Borden was born on May 9, 1854, in Jacobstown, Burlington County, New Jersey.
