Description	See game account from the Mankato Union for a game played in Mankato against the North Star Base Ball Club of St. Paul on Wednesday, July 10, 1867. It is apparent from that article that the Frontier Club had formed sometime previous to July 10, 1867 and the game against the North Star Club was not its first game. It may have been their first inter-city match. Further research needs to be done on the early base ball history of Mankato. Mankato MN is about 75 miles SW of Minneapolis/St. Paul. It had 3482 residents in 1870.

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.
