Brooklyn Atlantics Baseball Game
Photography by Michael Wikan on October 26, 2009 • 8:47pm
The present Atlantic Base Ball Club was established in 1997 as a re-creation of the 19th century Brooklyn Atlantics. The original team was organized on August 14, 1855, and played their home games on the Capitoline Grounds in Brooklyn. They soon became one of the premier teams of their era. They were recognized as National Champions in 1864 and 1865, going undefeated through both seasons. Their most memorable victory came on June 14, 1870 against the first-proclaimed all-professional Cinncinnati Red Stockings. In what was called "the finest game ever played," Atlantic had stopped the Red Stocking's two-year winning streak, defeating them 8-7 in 11 innings.
