Description

"In January 1873, a Prescott paper, the Arizona Miner, reported one of the first games played in the Arizona Territory, a Christmas day match at Camp Grant in southeastern Arizona."

"[It was reported that]'In the afternoon, an exciting game of base ball took place. This occupied the attention, [of] both of the combatants, until one o’clock, when the welcome call to dinner was wafted to our ears, and readily responded to.' No score or outcome of the game was reported."

Fort Grant, abandoned in 1905, was evidently about 60 miles NE of Tuscon.
