By the early 1900s, Walsenburg (a railroad community in Huerfano County) supported a baseball team. In April 1904, the local paper encouraged the financial support of the team. The Walsenburg community answered the call, and in May 1904 the paper noted, “A big game of ball, a fast game of ball and nothing but base ball will be played next Sunday afternoon on the Walsenburg diamond. Walsenburg vs Aguilar. Come and take a seat on the grandstand—cost 10 cents—and witness one of the best games that will be played here this season.”
