History: The Columbia Park Boys Club was founded by American philanthropist Major Sidney Peixotto to help boys in a tough neighborhood of San Francisco dealing with juvenile delinquency and other challenges. The boys were given light military training, taught to play musical instruments, and of course had a baseball team. This team went on a successful nine-month tour of Australia in 1909 where they not only played baseball against the locals, they also competed in the native sport of Australian Rules Football.
