Description	Grand Junction News, July 7, 1894 reports that the Leadville BBC, en route to the west, got stranded by the railroad in Grand Junction on the 4th, and while there played a game with the Grand Junction boys "at the stockyards." The Aspen Daily Times, Sept. 25, 1894 reports on a game the Grand Junction baseball club played recently. Baseball arrived in Grand Junction at least by 1889. The Grand Junction News, July 13, 1889 has an ad for "The City Drug Store" which features "fishing tackle, bats and balls" for sale. Same also has a notice "Base Ball goods at A. B. ad W. R. Johnson's". If baseballs were sold there, presumably baseball was played there. Grand Junction was incorporated in 1882. It did not have a baseball team before July 1889 (see Montrose).
