Description

The Tecumsehs of London were formed in 1868, by the merger of the Forest City BBC and the London BBC. The latter had been started in 1856, and may have played a "predecessor" game. See predecessor games. The Tecumsehs were named after a local hotel that co-sponsored the team. In 1877, the Tecumsehs won the International league Championship. See Humber, Diamonds of he North, p. 39.

See online article on the Tecumsehs of London; Bryce's Canadian Base Ball Guide for 1876, p. 7, 65.

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.
