This marker is located in a traffic island at the intersection of Washington Street and 11th Street on Washington Street in Hoboken, New Jersey. It reads:
"On June 19, 1846, the first match game of baseball was played here on the Elysian Fields between the Knickerbockers and the New Yorks. It is generally conceded that until this time, the game was not seriously regarded.
Donated by Hoboken Industry and Business Association."
