Turtle Clubs of the Rich and Famous (Patreon)

I'm working on a video about why baseball diamonds are diamonds (this has actually really surprised me by being a viable topic).

Anyway, along the way I stumbled on this picture of The Turtle Club — an early elite social club that met in Hoboken at the Elysian Fields (a place where early ball games were played). Apparently, it started because a bunch of rich people gathered together to eat turtles. 

This is a fun entirely inconsequential read: https://myinwood.net/the-hoboken-turtle-club/
