Description | It has been a pleasure to find more early baseball history in Eugene, Oregon. According to a traveling newspaper correspondent working for the Oregonian in July of 1867:
"The society in Eugene is good,-better than on average in the State. Those whom I met are social, hospitable and intelligent. I have not met a more jolly set of fellows anywhere, and they play base ball too; and have attained so much proficiency that I should not be surprised to hear that the Dysodias’ (Dog-fennel’s) had challenged the state."
Mr. P.W. Gillette’s article appears in the August 2, 1867, edition of the Morning Oregonian (attached), and I first saw the team mentioned in a book about the city’s farmers’ market and later in other publications. I have yet to determine where for certain that they played, but it appears that it was in the area of what is now the county fairgrounds. The next later organized team of record in the city is associated with the University of Oregon in 1877. |

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.
