Awaiting Review
Nick Name Jayhawker BBC
Earliest Known Date 1871
Location Emporia, KS, United States
Description

Harold Evans, "Baseball in Kansas, 1867-1940," Kansas Historical Quarterly v. 9, issue 2 (1940) says Emporia formed the Jayhawker BBC in 1871.

The Emporia Weekly News, Aug. 2, 1872, says the Jayhawker club "disbanded last year." So the above club seems to have lasted only a year.

Emporia KS (1870 pop. about 2200) is in Eastern KS, about 110 miles SW of Kansas City KS.
