| Comment | Richard Hershberger, 2/4/2021: 150 years ago in baseball: the Pacific baseball convention. This is much like the state conventions we see at this time, but more of an independent affair. California was still, even with the trans-continental railroad, the far end of beyond, so the baseball institutions tended to develop in parallel with but independent of those to the east. The Pacific convention was more of a free-standing affair than the state associations in the east, which mostly existed to appoint delegates to the national convention. It also seems comfortable with the idea of a formal championship, though I question empowering a committee to purchase the trophy bat "regardless of cost." |
| Query | Was the is first ever meeting of this group? Did it intend to represent base ball throughout California? Had other states established state-wide base ball associations by 1871? Edit with form to add a query |
