| Spread of baseball: Home -> Michigan -> Early baseball in Michigan/Club 40 |
| Location | Michigan |
|---|---|
| Year | 1867 |
| Modern address | Monrnoe MI |
| City | Monroe |
| State | MI |
| Country | US |
| Nickname | Union School BBC |
| Found by | Peter Morris |
The Union School BBC is the first club listed in Monroe County in Peter Morris' Baseball Fever (2003).
The City of Monroe is the largest town (pop. about 20,700) in the county, and we surmise that the Union School club was from that city. Monroe is about 35 miles SW of Detroit in the SE corner of the state.
