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.

An early president of the club was Edward Orr.  Protoball user Shannon GordonI put her genealogical skills to work, finding him 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).

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.
