| Description | The Detroit Free Press, April 5, 1865 reports that on April 3 the Detroit BBC of Detroit was organized, with R. H. Anderson as president. This club won a state tournament that September and claimed the state championship. See same, Oct. 5, 1865. One early president of the club was Edward Orr. Protoball user Shannon Gordon put his genealogical skills to work, finding Orr in different censuses and newspaper articles, figuring out where he was from (New Hampshire) what he did for a living (merchant), and his social involvement (Young Men’s Association, Fire Department Trustee). Orr became club President in 1861, having served as treasurer previously. John S. Newberry had been the first president.

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know
Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
