Additional Information – The Oregon Ganymedes Base Ball Club was formed in 2005 as an educational outreach program for the Chana School Museum in Oregon, Illinois to teach local baseball history. Home games are played on the lawn of the historic Chana School Museum which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The club’s gray and red uniforms were designed from a local newspaper description of the Oregon club in 1871.
The club’s name Ganymede comes from Ganymede Spring, a local mineral water spring named by the famous journalist Margaret Fuller when she visited Oregon in 1843. According to Greek mythology, Ganymede was the cup bearer to the gods on Mt. Olympus.
Oregon, Illinois is a small town (population 3,600) located on the scenic Rock River 100 miles west of Chicago. Since their formation, the Oregon Ganymedes Base Ball Club has played over 250 vintage base ball matches against over fifty different vintage clubs from all over the Midwest and beyond.
