Description	Klein, "Baseball on the Border" pp. 33-34 says that, depending on the reminiscence used, baseball was played in Nuevo Laredo by 1890 or 1893--and possibly in the 1880s. A second, 1877, claim: "At Neuvo Laredo, a rustic setting close to the US border, it was American railroad construction bosses rather than American sailors who reportedly imported the game. . . . A pair of local nines were quickly formed (as legend has it) and the date reported for a first game staged between them is traditionally given as 1877." Peter C. Bjarkman, Diamonds Around the Globe (Greenwood Press, 2005), pages 267-268.
