The original Flemington Neshanock were established in July 1866 and comprised mainly of the town's prominent constituents. The President was George F. Crater, owner of Crater's Hotel, which was on the spot of what is now the Union Hotel. Some other notable members were E. Vosseller (VP and short stop), RS Kuhl (Captain) and E. Page Southwick (Secretary and catcher). The Neshanock were apparently not very skilled ballists and often lost to their chief rivals, the Lambertville Logan, by the close scores of 77-25 and 71-47. Unfortunately, no records of the Neshanock are apparent after August 1867. Today's Neshanock were re-established in 2001 by Captain Brad "Brooklyn" Shaw, proudly reviving the name of that long ago team but hopefully not imitating their base ball skills. Their inaugural 2001 season resulted in a 2-10 record as many members were schooled in the fine art of barehanded base ball. The 2002 season was much improved, with the Neshanock posting a most excellent 17-9 record and a second place finish in the fabled Hartford Tournament. As their ballist skills increase by leaps and bounds, they hope to continue to excel with many more wins and frequent huzzahs. ContactBradley Shaw |
