Description

In the Big Horn Basin in Wyoming, "[w]hile the prospecting parties were gone, the remaining members amused themselves by dividing themselves into baseball teams – the Gray Bulls and the Stinking Waters – and played the first baseball game in the Basin."

Lawrence Milton Woods, Wyoming's Big Horn Basin to 1901: A Late Frontier. Accessed as a snippet view via Google Books search, February 2010. The year of the game is not visible in the snippet view. The Basin is in central northern Wyoming, near the Montana border.
