Two seasons online, a century behind it
The Ada Athletics have game results online back to the 2024 season, and no founding date, championship list or club history published anywhere the Minnesota Baseball Association carries. The MBA's own honors page and state archives hold the longer record.
Minnesota town ball is the oldest continuously running amateur baseball structure in the country, and a club in a Norman County town of two thousand almost certainly predates its website by several generations. We are not going to guess by how much.
Two seasons of box scores is what survives when nobody was assigned to keep the rest.
Everything before the last few years of Ada Athletics is gone from the web; High Cheese gives a club somewhere to put it back.
