When Towns Had Teams (Jim Baumer)

Chapter 4: A League of Its Own

According to Baumer, the first official baseball game featuring a Portland-based team was on September 11, 1858, when the Portland Baseball Club played against a Boston team in the Boston Commons.

Decades later, the Twilight Baseball League was founded in 1903, and Baumer hits the high points in that illustrious Portland-based league's history through the 1980s. 

Unfortunately, it appears the Twilight League folded in 2016, a little more than a decade after When Towns Had Teams was published.
