Description

Bob Burke, "Baseball in Oklahoma City" (2003), p. 7: "By the fall of 1889 [the year the city was founded], Oklahoma City's first baseball grandstand was built near the location of the present Municipal Building.... The ballpark was thrown up quickly to host a series of games between Oklahoma City and its biggest rival, the team from Oklahoma Territory capitol city Guthrie."

Oklahoma City's pop. in 1890 was about 4,151.

Comment

The Oklahoma City Daily Times, March 23, 1891, reports that a meeting will be held that night in the Klein Bldg. to form a base ball club.

https://dougdawg.blogspot.com/2010/08/oklahoma-city-baseball.html states that the first recorded baseball game in Oklahoma City was July 2, 1889.

See also https://www.writedownmemorylane.com/blog/oklahoma-city-baseball-genesis which states that the Oklahoma City Browns played the Guthrie Howlers June 30, 1889 in Guthrie, winning 12-10 in 10 innings.

The Guthrie Daily Capital, July 3, 1889, mentions the June 30th game. The Oklahoma City Evening Gazette, July 5, 1889 mentions the stadium stands collapse after the July 2 ball game.

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.
