Description	The Mesilla Valley Democrat, Sept. 21, 1888, mentions a game between the "Las Cruces club" and a picked nine. Las Cruces was settled in 1849, but didn't "take off" as a town (nearby Mesilla dwarfed it) until the railroad arrived in 1881. It is likely that baseball arrived in the area earlier than 1888.
