Baseball in Novato: The Early Years
Baseball has a long history in Novato. As early as 1887, local newspapers reported on the festive opening day and first game of a Novato baseball club. The photograph above is from circa 1915 and is of the Novato Colts, a semi-pro baseball team. To learn more about Novato’s early sports history, visit the Novato History Museum Archives.
