Craig Waff's Games Tabulations made foundational contributions to our effort to document games and clubs before baseball became a professional sport. Craig's work is memorialized in this section of the site and lives on as a substantial mass of entries in Pre-pro Baseball. For more information about Pre-pro Baseball, see our About Pre-pro page.

Agricultural Fair | Sacramento 48 Stockton 11 Sacramento 73 Live Oak 7 (NYC: “Our national game has, we are glad to find, its enthusiastic followers as well, in the Golden as the Empire State, and, we doubt not, some as skillful players. It is not surprising, therefore, that a wholesome emulation should exist, and a liberal rivalry manifest itself between the leading clubs, so much so as to create the desire to know which is the champion club. To this end a tournament has taken place between the three acknowledged first, namely, the Stockton, Sacramento, and Live Oak.” | (1) “Base Ball Tournament in California,” NYC, [?] Nov 1860 |
