Arizona Baseball's Early Echoes and Pioneering Players
Tenney chronicles how territorial Arizona hosted flexible schedules and barnstorming teams such as the Albuquerque Browns and Boston Bloomer Girls, with games funded by towns and local businesses. He notes stars like Eddie Cicotte and Chick Gandil in early circuits, the 1895 Fourth of July baseball tournament prize, and tours by Giants and White Sox entourages that bridged West Coast, Mexico, and overseas exhibitions.
