Description	http://www.historicjoplin.org (a great website) has lots on Joplin baseball history, mostly 1890s on. In the first mention, in 1883 a tornado destroyed Joplin's Cox Baseball Park. Team owner (and local banker) Arthur C. Cox promptly rebuilt it. It is probable that baseball was played here for several years prior to 1883. Joplin was founded in 1871. By 1902 they had a professional team.
