1863’S STAR PLAYERS NAMED
2ND YEAR WITH 30-MAN SQUADS; SIX PLAYERS HAVE MADE ALL FIVE A.S.G’s

NEW YORK CITY (Julw 20, 1863) - All of the ballots that have been collected, mailed, & telegrammed in have been counted, and the National Base Ball Organization’s stars of the 1863 season have been named.

Rosters for the upcoming All-Star Game will be thirty men per side again this season:

• Places 1-6 in each team’s roster will go to the best pitchers in each league.
• The remaining 24 roster sports will consist of three players for every other position.

Once again, the annual contest will be held at the Knickerbocker Club’s home of the Elysian Fields, which is both the oldest and largest base ball in existence.

Given the numerous surprises across the standings in the N.B.B.O’s six regional championships, expect to see many, many new faces playing two weeks from now in New York City.
