Artifact Overview
Baseball became increasingly popular, competitive, and organized during the latter half of the 1800s. Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, formed an intermural squad just before the Civil War and played its first interscholastic match in 1866. This image shows a game at Phillips Academy in the 1870s -- perhaps against its rival Phillips Exeter Academy.
