1870's Info Search
Does anyone have a good source for information on amatuer/semi pro teams from 1870 thru 1876?
Google hasn't provided many links with good info, not sure if this info exists in any detail online. Any help/nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated |

Most of this is going to be in books and not on the internet but there are some decent internet sources.
Wiki isn't bad for a team by team search and sometimes stadium pictures. Retrosheet is a great resource for any period. The 1878 Season Baseball History: 19th Century Baseball Some good background info. 1920 Minor League Baseball League Encyclopedia - Baseball-Reference.com Starts with the NL but has a lot of good info on teams. This is very hard to find on baseball reference so I linked to 1920 you have to press previous years a few times to get to 1876! League Operating Rules This one is from LGO. A lot of info on rules over time. Some is very hard to implement in the game. 19th Century Baseball [Archive] - Baseball Fever Forum for 19th century baseball discussion so interesting stuff here. The Directory of Major League Years Quick year links on retrosheet. The Economic History of Major League Baseball | Economic History Services Some economic history less specific but it is written by an economist rather than a historian which is a plus. ORIGINAL BASEBALL RESEARCH Several articles by a SABR guy some 19th century some not. |

The National Association (1871-1875), which was the major league of its day, has plenty of information on Retrosheet, including box scores from three of the five years.
