Description

Describing Albert Spalding's "Australian baseball tour of 1888, Joe Clark writes: "The tour's first game outside the United States was in Auckland in 10 December. Only weeks before, in Wellington, the first baseball game had been played in New Zealand by the visiting Hicks-Sawyer Minstrel Company." No source is provided.
