| Comment | The Minnehaha played the St. Croix of Stillwater for the "state championship" in 1868. See Stillwater Republican, Oct. 27, 1868. In June 1868 the Minnehaha had beaten the North Star of St. Paul, which in 1867 had claimed the state championship. [ba] Edit with form to add a comment |

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.
