Description	Morris, "Base Ball Pioneers" p. 224 mentions the Pioneer and Union Base Ball Clubs formed in Rockford in 1865. I've given it an artificial start date of September to insure that the Forest City Club is recognized as the first Rockford club.

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.
