Description	There is "proof baseball existed in China as early as the 1860s. . . . The [Shanghai] rowing club was founded on May 1, 1863 . . . . And details about a loan the club took out that year make it clear that the Shanghai Base Ball Club was in existence already – a full decade before the date generally accepted for the first baseball game in Japan." The [Shanghai] North China Herald, Feb. 10, 1866, mentions that the Shanghai Volunteers (a military unit of volunteers, of Europeans and Americans resident in Shanghai) have a rowing club, a cricket club, and "base ball club." Same, April 14, 1866, notes that the Shanghai Base Ball Club has been given 2,000 tis. from the recreation fund--and the cricket club, 6,657 tis. This club is also mentioned in the Aug. 4, 1866 and Nov. 15, 1870 issues. The first notice of a specific game mentioned in that newspaper is in 1873.

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.
