History of Baseball and Dakota County

The history of baseball is sometimes complex and full of contradictions. Sit down and enjoy the ride as we follow the history of the United States and Dakota County through the lens of baseball (two words at its formation). As we travel through time you will learn about the myth of Abner Doubleday, the role of Nininger and Henry Hastings Sibley on local baseball history, as well as segregation and re-integration of the game.
