Date of Game 1883
Location Donald, British Columbia, Canada
Description

Humber, "Diamonds of the North" p. 95 says that workers on the Canadian Pacific Railroad established Donald as a construction site and station in the early 1880s. "Railworkers [in Donald] played the game as early as 1883 but Donald baseball's great year was 1888 by which time the line had reached the coast." That year the Donald team won a tournament in Kamloops, crushing the home team 40-0.
