This is the previously untold story of the London Tecumsehs, an
1870s baseball team that rose to the top ranks of pro ball. The
Tecumsehs of London, Ontario, were among the founding members of
the International Association in 1877, the first league established
to challenge the struggling National League, formed a year earlier.
The team played against the top competition of the day and defeated
nines from Chicago, St. Louis and elsewhere. They became the first
champions of the International Association when they defeated
Pittsburgh with the help of Fred Goldsmith, one of the first
curveball pitchers. This is also the story of the International
Association, the only one of the six leagues challenging the
primacy of the National League that has never been accorded major
league status. To this day it has been relegated to minor league
status to the detriment of some of the pioneer players in the game.
