Quesada, Baseball in Tampa Bay, pp. 7, 16, says that baseball teams were organized by Tampa residents in the 1880s. And Tampa had a team in the first short-lived Florida State League in 1892.
Note: I was forced to put "1884" in rather than a range of years, becuase the system didn't allow inputting a range. I chose 1884 at random.
