Club History

The Sacramento Base Ball Club is named after a real club established in 1859. Thanks to research posted on http://protoball.org/Sacramento_Base_Ball_Club we have found an article posted in the November 15, 1859 Sacramento Daily Union newspaper that announced the formation of the club. Furthermore, "The Golden Game: The Story of California Baseball" by Kevin Nelson states:
"Sacramento can lay claim to the first active ballclub in the state: the Sacramento Base Ball Club, established in the closing months of 1859. This development caused feathers to be ruffled all over San Francisco, where a local newspaper wondered how Sacramento could have beaten California's largest city to the punch. Within days the San Francisco Base Ball Club was born."
