Wikimedia Commons has media related to Philadelphian Cricket.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the city of Philadelphia was the dominant cricketing center in the United States. The culture of cricket in this city was advanced by the upperclass families of the day. Many first-class matches were played in Philadelphia and many first-class cricketers got their start there.

The following gentlemen played first-class cricket for the Philadelphian cricket team. The guidelines of Notability make it clear that individuals playing a sport at the highest level are notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. This means that all of the first-class cricketers below need to be added. The list of REDLINKS was compiled using CricketArchive. It contains all the individuals that played in first-class matches with George Stuart Patterson and John Barton King.
