Title	Croghan Base Ball Club Photographs
Subject	Sports Baseball Baseball teams Hayes, Birchard Austin, 1853-1926
Place	Fremont (Ohio) Sandusky County (Ohio)
Description	These cartes de visite show two members of the Croghan Base Ball Club, Birchard A. Hayes and Edmund L. Greene, in their team uniforms. The photographs measure 2 by 3 inches (5.08 by 7.62 cm). They are taken from the photograph album of President Rutherford B. Hayes. Birchard Austin Hayes (1853-1926) was the first of eight children born to Rutherford and Lucy Hayes. The Fremont team played teams from Huron, Port Clinton, Clyde, Bellevue, Toledo, and surrounding towns. Baseball began in the United States in the 1840s and 1850s in New York. During the Civil War, Union soldiers introduced the game to other soldiers from remote regions of the country. When the war ended, base ball clubs spread across the United States. The National League of Professional Baseball formed in 1876 to formalize professional baseball, but amateur baseball remained popular.
