Baseball in South Bend - John M Kovach - Bog

Bag om Baseball in South Bend

The national pastime began to take root in South Bend in the 1860s when teams like the Hoosiers, Excelsiors, and Rough-and-Readys took the field to the delight of local fans. By 1878, the legendary South Bend Greenstocking had arrived on the scene, winning the mythical Indiana State Baseball Championship and establishing the nickname of choice for South Bend baseball for years to come. The following decades saw the rising popularity of not only minor league baseball but also barnstorming teams, indoor baseball, factory leagues, and men s and women s amateur leagues. This rich baseball heritage is carried on today by the South Bend SilverHawks of the Class-A Midwest League."
