Description

The Detroit Club is listed as an NABBP member in 1860; its season included 5 games, including two against the Franklin Club of Detroit; M. Wright, The NABBP, page 48. The New York Mercury, June 19, 1859, reports the formation "last week" of the Detroit Base Ball Club of Michigan, John S. Newberry, President. [BA]

The Detroit Free Press, Oct. 7, 1858 reports that on Oct. 5 a base ball club was formed.  Edward S. Orr (later known to be with the Detroit Base Ball Club) was the newspapers informant. Morris says the Detroit Club was formed in the Fall of 1858. They are to play "on the grounds of the Cass Farm occupied by the Farmers' and Mechanic's Fair."

Detroit's population in 1860 was about 45,500, and it was the 19th largest city in the US.

As reported by Porter's Spirit in August 1859, the club played a game in Detroit against the Early Risers that year.

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.
