Description	The El Paso Browns, the first team in that town, were formed May 16, 1884, and a game with Fort Bliss was played “two months later.” See Trish Long, “Tales from the Morgue,” El Paso Times, June 27, 2012. The Browns might have existed in 1881. An article cites the El Paso "Lone Star," Nov. 9, 1881, with local merchants presenting "two beautiful silk foul flags" to the El Paso and Southwestern RR Company baseball team, the Browns. El Paso TX is at the western extremity of TX. The nearest major US city appears to be Albuquerque NM, which is about 250 miles to the north.
