1857 complete

58-60 will be slow, lots of games / teams
61-65 will be faster because of the Civil War
66-70 will be progressivly slower. This Post Civil War saw a boom in teams and a quick look seems to show tons of games where a touring team stopped in a town and played a local side that never played another NABBP team ever again. Right now I am counting these teams as legit and will do so thru 1865. Those last 5 years I will just have too decide if it is worth the effort as clearly these teams will be of the lowest level and their venues would have been a field near the hotel or train depot
