Description

New York Clipper, July 13, 1867: "The Santa Fe Club of Santa Fe, N.M., played a practice game lately, when Wheelock's side beat Keating's by a tally of 24 to 16." This game was reported in the Santa Fe Weekly Gazette, June 15, 1867.

"Wheelock" is undoubtedly Samuel Brown Wheelock (1840-79), a Santa Fe merchant who'd been captain in the 149th NY during the Civil War.

The Santa Fe New Mexican, Dec. 16, 1868, mentions a recent game at Las Vegas NM between the Santa Fe BBC and the Bradley BBC of Fort Union.

The New York Clipper, April 23, 1870, under the headline "Base Ball and other Sports in New Mexico," reprints a letter from a Santa Fe resident claiming "We have a good base ball club, having in the composition some known to a few of your readers.." such as "Jim McKenzie" of Peoria and "Charlie Martin" of Washington. The letter claims that this club has played games, and is the champion of the territory.

The Santa Fe Daily New Mexican, Aug. 22, 1872, says a base ball game will be played next Saturday. "It is nearly a year since the last game was played here." Same Aug. 30 reports on this match game between the military and the citizens.

As of January 2021, this club appears to be the first formed in New Mexico.

In 1870, Santa Fe's population was about 4,800.

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.
