Comment

The earliest location of baseball games in Dover in unknown. A June 24, 1875 pro game was played at the Dover BBC grounds, aka Fairview Park. Green Cathedrals has the location of this park.

An 1894 game was played behind (east) of the State House, itself on the east side of the Dover Green.
