"Several Americans formed, in 1888, the Buenos Aires Base Ball Club, that played its first match against the Rosario Cricket Club in an open field located in Cabildo Street, in the neighborhood of Belgrano." Cesar Gonzales Gomez, http://latinbaseballorigins.wordpress.com/2009/07/12/19th-century-baseball-in-argentina/ , citing Hector Pastrian, "Beisbol. Resena historica internacional y argentina."

The article and book note that baseball had been played by resident Americans for years prior to 1888.
